Featuring interviews with Flea, Gwen Stefani, Ice-T, George Clinton, Branford Marsalis, Quest Love, Mike Watt, and many more! Review "The Los Angeles-born-and-bred band Fishbone, which delivered a bracing combination of rock, funk, punk, and ska, was one of the brightest lights of late-eighties alternative rock. This perceptive, plainspoken, frequently gripping documentary by Lev Anderson and Chris Metzler both measures the wattage of the band s early years and traces, with a mix of wisdom and sadness, the long fade. Narrated by Laurence Fishburne, and featuring interviews with other eighties-rock veterans (including Les Claypool, of Primus; Vernon Reid, of Living Colour; and Flea, of the Red Hot Chili Peppers), the film paints a portrait of a band that never became as big as it should have, and suggests that its failure was due both to internal dissension and to the stubborn conservatism of the record industry in matters of race, genre, and vision. The core of the film is the long professional marriage between the bassist and singer Norwood Fisher and the saxophonist and singer Angelo Moore. Like many African-American teen-agers, they were bused into predominantly white and affluent neighborhoods, and they made music as perceptive outsiders trying to understand their surroundings and to preserve their identity. Many bands have a might-have-been story, but few have a story that reflects such rich and paradoxical ideas" --Ben Greeman, New Yorker Review: Honest & compelling...like their music. - First off - like most everyone here, I love Fishbone (natch, their earlier stuff resonates the most) and thoroughly enjoyed this documentary. Clearly, the story here is of a transformation. The early, formative years are ripe with fun, a sense of adventure and no stated goals beyond hanging out as friends, jamming in the bedroom and making music for the sheer joy of creation. Getting a live gig = nirvana. The cartoons are inventive, adding an oft-funny (and realistic) dimension to the "how it was back then" tales. The years 1985 - 1992 are their artistic peak during which the band (and their fans) felt they were on the cusp of a major breakthrough, despite the often weird amalgamation of musical styles. From then on however, it's a sad, downward trajectory that exudes quite a bit of pathos. Due to the limitations of a still-rigid industry (which was unable to pigeonhole them...how could they?), the loss of key members Kendall & Chris, and their inability to break through at a mass-market level...the band watches as other (whiter) acts such as the RHCP, No Doubt and various grunge bands go onto mega-stardom while they're left playing small clubs, wondering what happened. The band allows itself to be filmed in brutal honesty. Particularly hard-to-watch is frontman Angelo having to move in with his mother due to loss of his apartment, although he certainly seems to take it in stride...we feel worse than he does. Norwood & Kibby are also forthcoming in their assessments of Angelo and how artistic genius can be a very trying thing to live with, day-in-day-out. Hope prevails of course...the band eventually reunites with estranged members and continue to tour new records, refusing to join the greatest-hits-oldies circuit, where at least a guaranteed paycheck would await. This is a frank and riveting documentary...highly recommended. Review: Great documentary - Simply put this is a really great documentary about an extremely important band of the 80's, 90's and 00's and beyond. I admit I am a big fan, but would think this is a great film for everyone interested in music. Having been a longtime fan but never fully understanding the changed in lineup, this was great to see. A basic very well done rock-documentary, with a twist, its about an amazing group of musicians who had a very interesting history and never got the break they deserve. Even though they paved the way for countless others who made more money, they never got their big break and lumbered in underground stardom. The movie documents the rough times of the band and tries to focus on the tremendous contribution to changing the music industry and rock n roll itself. Highly recommended for any fan! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B006QXT4S4 | | Actors | Branford Marsalis, Flea, Gwen Stefani, Ice-T, Laurence Fishburne | | Best Sellers Rank | #244,211 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #9,321 in Documentary (Movies & TV) #12,226 in Special Interests (Movies & TV) | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 4.9 out of 5 stars (110) | | Director | Chris Metzler, Lev Anderson | | MPAA rating | NR (Not Rated) | | Media Format | Anamorphic, Color, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Widescreen | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 2.72 ounces | | Release date | February 7, 2012 | | Run time | 1 hour and 47 minutes | | Studio | Cinema Guild | ## Images ![Everyday Sunshine: The Story of Fishbone - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91in6rxRDRL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Honest & compelling...like their music. *by E***C on October 27, 2015* First off - like most everyone here, I love Fishbone (natch, their earlier stuff resonates the most) and thoroughly enjoyed this documentary.

Highly recommended for any fan! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ bad to da 'Bone !!! *by E***O on March 15, 2012* an incredible band I first caught a couple of their shows in Boston many moons ago when Reality of My Surroundings was out (Beacon Theater) and when they hit the Paradise Lounge as an offshoot show during the Lollapalooza tour. Was an instant fan of their unique brand of music. Saw then again recently in Tennessee in November of last year. Still rocking an incredible show. Angelo came out before the show and chatted up the fans... afterwards Rocky Dre and Angelo were out at the bar meeting the fans.. Its cool to see another side of Fishbone when they are not on tour and Mama Fish and Angelo's mom. Angelo and his daughter is cool to see and relate to them as family guys... I highly recommend this movie to any Fishbone fan and to anybody who loves good music. Their arrangements are killer and complex but also fun and high energy.
