MRG Live Presents: Fishbone

Fishbone is an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1979, that plays a fusion of ska, punk, funk, metal, reggae, and soul. AllMusic has described the group as “one of the most distinctive and eclectic alternative rock bands of the late ’80s. With their hyperactive, self-conscious diversity, goofy sense of humor, and sharp social commentary, the group gained a sizable cult following.” Fishbone achieved their greatest commercial success in the late 1980s and early 1990s with hits such as ‘PARTY AT GROUND ZERO’, ‘UGLY’, ‘SUNLESS SATURDAY’, ‘EVERYDAY SUNSHINE’ and many more. With their hyperactive, self-conscious diversity, goofy sense of humor, and sharp social commentary, the group gained a sizable cult following upon being signed to Columbia Records in 1984. Since that point Fishbone toured the world headlining shows, festivals and leaving people stunned and still one of the best shows ever seen.

Combining equal parts of deep funk, high-energy punk, and frantic ska, Fishbone remains as one of the most distinctive and eclectic alternative rock bands ever created. With a new EP recorded produced by Fat Mike of NOFX and coming out on Fat Wreck Chords later in 2022, Fishbone is getting ready to reclaim their live touring throne, leave the audience wanting more, thinking more, influencing younger bands, and paving the foundation and legacy they have been laying for decades.
