With Fishbone, you can't go wrong
Let's dive with the ska fishes
In 1979 in Los Angeles
just turned 14
four (sic) african americans invent a musical genre
that will make the RHCP and No Doubt rich
Hardcore fusion
mixing punk, funk, ska and even jazz or latin sounds
Fishbone, even with their 30-year record of stage diving
never took a sabbatical
and don't smoke cigars yet
In this box : 15 vinyls
We asked Angelo and Norwood to pick three of them
that tell three moments of their lives
Hey guys, hide your excitement !
well these guys right here, Tears for Fears
this picture reminds me of the time when i had the same hairdo
and i was trying to be white
I lived in a white neighborhood
and thought i had to be like all the other white kids
to fit in
i was listening to KROC
and they overplayed theses ***
they played one of their songs twice an hour
Oh, here it is
If you wanted some ***,
and that she liked the song,
the you had to dance with her on this ***
You want to *** her, she likes ***, then you go for it
Would you like to dance, honey?
it was kind of racist out there where I grew up
When you're part of a minority
sometimes people call you ***
when you walk the streets going to school
Oh look at that hair
your hair's so different
woaw
Now here's Screaming Jay Hawkins
he's one of my principal influences
He's the master
Oh look, you can change the pitch, listen!
In Santa Cruz, California
At the university we played with Screaming Jay Hawkins
I was on shrooms
I stagedived but everyonne scattered
I *** landed on the floor
There was people naked in the audience that night
???
OK Amy Stuart!
You know this song
its a cover
I used to dance on this *** at the disco
this song is bad
i don't care either way about the song
she's hot !
and she has a great hat!
But it's cool
allright, enough of this ***
with our youthful experimentation need to try everything
we started to speed up reggae songs
and play faster faster and faster
and then i'm like "Oh, great
we just invented something new
Punk rock reggae, how are we gonna call it?
Then Walt, the trumpet player said
We haven't invented anything, this is ska!
I was like, no we created something else
Nobody else is doing this stuff
I'd never heard of ska
