359.0. "Fishbone" by MALLET::MOXLEY (You're all washed up) Wed Mar 01 1989 10:33

This is a note for all the U.S (Boston) readers.
Recently, there was a manic group on T.V here, called FISHBONE, a black guy
with a mohican haircut, the band were really WILD almost a throwback to
the good 'ole days of punk. The lead singers trademark was to throw himself 
into the audience and (hope) that someone caught him...usually they did.

Are they well known over there?, and is one of their gigs as WILD as it 
looks?, might even go and see 'em if they play over here.

	F-I-S-H-Booooonnnneee!!!!

359.1Fish and then some...SENIOR::MORIGIWed Mar 01 1989 15:1817
    Mr. Fish,
    
    Fishbone are from the West Coast (U.S.) and are quite well known
    east and west. If I'm not mistaken, they've finished their American
    tour and are now in Europe.  
    I've seem them twice, once in '86 and again in November '88.  Both
    gigs were completely wild!!  At the latter gig, the lead singer did
    his usual stage-diving, as well as taking a run through the crowd
    to create mayhem!  It's lots of fun.....and the songs are good too!
    I suggest you go see them!
    
    Give a listen to "Party at Ground Zero." - the video also is quite
    good.
                      Cheers,
    
                                      Paul

359.3FORTY2::ETHERIDGEThat was *my* idea.Wed May 15 1991 18:597
    Nothing apart from Truth And Soul is available in this country. Ive not
    even seen any highly inflated price imports anywhere. 
    
    But if Im wrong then I want to know about it because I too want to hear 
    more of this sort of stuff.

    This is kind of irrelevent, but I saw the lead singer (forgot his
    name) and another band member in the parking lot of a mall a couple
    of weeks ago.  Although I did recognize him (`cause I'm so hip),
    I was sure it was him because his licence plate said "FSHBONE."
    I thought the Century City mall was a strange place to see them.
    
    (I actually met a few of them before--it was about 8 years ago when
    they used to be a ska band that played Madame Wongs all the time.)

    L.A. sounds like a  star-spoter's paradise. Another l.a. noter
    (in world_forum) tells us about the gods he's seen. Once it was Sinead
    O'Connor feeding herself in a restaurant and another time it was David
    Crosby astride his Harley Davidson.

    Does this mean anything to anyone ? Okay I'll stop now.

    Thats nothing, a friend of mine saw Morrissey coming out of a tattoo
    shop in Brighton the other day.  Why was he in there, I think we should
    be told.

    Even *I* saw Morrissey Tim.
                           ---

    It was at a That Petrol Emotion gig at Reading University in October. I
    believe the old rhymer was recording nearby. I still haven't heard that
    album. Sometime I might.

    It's hard to live in LA & *not* see any stars.  They have to market
    and eat like everyone else.  And when you go to school with their
    kids....
    
    Yes, I've seen Morrissey too.  (It was in 1984 in a South Kensington
    tube station; I almost followed him.)

    saw Elvis recently ;-)
