Yahoo LAUNCHCAST Song Of The Day-Fishbone


Artist:Fishbone

Song:Ma And Pa

Album:Truth And Soul





Fishbone is a group that emerged in the late 80s. They developed a cult following but never quite made it to the mainstream. The group started in Los Angeles by vocalist/sax player Angelo Moore while still in junior high. Other members were Kendall Jones on guitar, Chris Dowd on keyboards, John Norwood Fisher on bass and Philip "Fish" Fisher on drums. Fishbone came out of the LA punk scene so they were influenced by that along with R & B, funk and ska. Their live shows earned them a contract with Columbia and Truth And Soul was their second album in 1988. Ma And Pa is a frenetic ska influenced song about divorce. The album did well but then they didn't release another CD for three years. Eventually they faded from the spotlight. Fishbone was never able to rise past their cult following. They're still around and Angelo Moore & John Norwood Fisher are still in charge. Their latest CD is 2006's Still Stuck In Your Throat on Discograph. Here's the video for Ma And Pa by Fishbone
