The Angelo Show, Angelo Moore's latest solo record as Dr Madd Vibe, is ready for release. The album was recorded at home and on tour, with Angelo playing every instrument. Angelo needs our help to put this record out, and now is a great opportunity to give back a little of what we've received over the last 25+ years. Go to kickstarter.com and support the effort by pledging what you can afford. With a donation of just 25USD, you're rewarded by a physical and digital copy of the record and a few extra goodies. Angelo needs to raise 25.000 USD by July 22nd to make this happen, so NOW is the time to show your love to Angelo ! If the total sum is not raised, pledges will be cancelled and no money will be charged to you.
Angelo Moore marked the 25th anniversary of Fishbone's career with the creation of a massive collection of art. Teaming with Los Angeles creativity house SceneFour, Moore recreated "The Last Supper" masterpiece into a unique and insightful personal project with each canvas becoming one-of-a-kind in the series. Check out what Angelo has to say about the canvas here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rGNl5D8AD4
A bunch of new dates appeared lately. First of all, Fishbone will be playing their third Byron Bay BluesFest this April with a lot of other great acts (check the festival's site for more details). Two other OZ dates have already appeared for Sydney & Melbourne (although visibly not as headliners).
Another French date was also spotted, letting european fans think a full euro tour might be in the works. Fishbonelive.org has not received official confirmation of these euro dates yet and solely relies on third party websites.
Finally, as Fishbone makes it way back west from its east coast tour with Slightly Stoopid, a few headlining gigs have been lined up. One not to be missed will be the stop at Saint Louis' City Museum next month. The last two shows there have proved to be wild, so if you're in the neighbourhood, don't be a flake !
Check out Fishbone in its current creative process ! The guys laying vocals to two brand new songs at D.O.B Studios, with Derek O'Brien drummer of Social Distortion. Fress outta Youtube here and here !
Fishbone will be headlining their largest UK tour since 2002 in late April / early May 2011. Before that, you'll be able to catch the band in select Rockies resorts in the now traditional snowboarding tour. Fishbone is also supporting part of Slightly Stoopid's tour on the East coast, with a couple of headlining shows.
Check the tour dates section for more info on cities and dates.
Hopefully, these gigs coincide with the release of new music that the band is currently recording at DOB Sound in Los Angeles.
Everyday Sunshine won the Best Feature Film award at the Docutah Southern Utah International Documentary Film Festival last week ! Congratulations to Lev Anderson and Chris Metzler who also were awarded "Best Directing".
Everyday Sunshine is currently played in the festival circuit. Upcoming festival screenings are available from the website or the film's facebook page. Tehy include Tucson, Minneapolis, the Bay area, Jacksonville, New York, Wishita, Denver and Wilmington
Tonight, directors Chris Mezler and Lev Anderson presented the world premiere of Everyday Sunshine, the long awaited Fishbone documentary, at the prestigious Los Angeles Film Festival.
During over 100 minutes, Everyday Sunshine gives an intimate yet objective look at the inner depths of past and present Fishbone, as a band and as individuals.
A lot has already been written about the stars that Lev & Chris have on film giving their props to Fishbone : Tim Robbins, Gwen Stefani, George Clinton, Flea,... But the real tour de force that Chris and Lev have achieved is to propose a multi-layered movie that tells an entertaining story to the casual watcher and, at the same time, brings tears of emotion to the greying first hour Fishbone soldier who already knows the story. Of course, you will find exclusive - never heard of - footage of very early shows (84-85) and comprehensive insights into the development of what Fishbone has become today. For one, the story of the 2008 Shattuck Down Low reunion with Kendall Jones will blow everyone's mind.
But what's really fresh in this documentary is the portrayal of the intimate relationship between band members, current and past. The making of this documentary clearly was a cathartic process for Angelo and Norwood, that most probably helped them stand where they stand today. And for that, the familyhood should be eternally grateful to Lev & Chris.
