Everyday Sunshine To Premiere At The 2010 Los Angeles Film Festival
Everyday Sunshine: The Story of Fishbone will be presented at the 2010 Los Angeles Film Festival. The documentary is directed by Lev Anderson and Chris Metzler and has been in the works for these last four years. It features the history of the band through its ups and downs, the creative process and insights from Flea, Ice-T, Perry Farrell, Gwen Stefani or Branford Marsalis in addition to past and current members of Fishbone. The story is narrated by Laurence Fishburne. The documentary is competing in the documentary section. The LA Film Festival is a very prestigious film festival and takes place in downtown LA, June 17-27. More news on the viewing schedule when it is released.
Fishbone announced today its first tour in Brazil ever. The tour will bring the nuttness to Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro & Porto Alegre on four dates between the 22nd and 25th of July. Fishbone hasn't played in South America since November 2000 when they played a couple of dates in Argentina. Argentina will not be forgotten this time around either since Fishbone is opening this small tour with a date in Buenos Aires (07/20) - I hope for all the Porteños that Los Fabulosos Cadillacs will take part in the party !
The Spring Skaward tour with The English Beat has just finished, and clearly, from what the great press reviews say, Fishbone stole the show. So here's your chance to catch Fishbone mastering their Scorpion Back Pinch on the slopes of Colorado ski resorts later this month or playing major festivals in the coming months. Check out the tour dates section for more info.

Dirty Walt was doing his thang on stage last night at the Air Conditioned Fishbone show.
