Veteran 2 Tone ska revival act The English Beat have been chugging along on their U.S. Spring Skaward Tour with Fishbone and Outlaw Nation.  Last Thursday, the band played at The Cabooze in Minneapolis, MN and MNSKA contributor Patrick Larson was there to shoot this video of their cover of “I’ll Take You There.”

Seems like there’s a lot Fishbone news lately!  According to our friends over at Punknews.org, the band is currently the subject of a lawsuit for allegedly injuring a fan when lead vocalist Angelo Moore jumped into the crowd on February 23rd during a concert in Philadelphia. Forty-two-year-old Kimberly Myers, of Voorhees, NJ, claims a fractured skull, a broken collar bone and perforated eardrum when Moore jumped into the crowd The lawsuit is seeking damages in excess of $75,000.  You can read the entire news report HERE.

In honor of the big show tomorrow night (Thursday, March 4th) at The Cabooze in Minneapolis, MN, here is a Fishbone music video from 1989 for my favorite song of theirs “Ma and Pa.”  Fishbone are currently on the Spring Skaward Tour with The English Beat and Outlaw Nation.  The show is 18+ with doors opening at 7 pm.  Tickets are just $22.

According to my sources over at Spinner.com,  legendary ska, punk, funk, metal, hip-hop band Fishbone has a documentary coming out entitled Everyday Sunshine.  The documentary will be narrated by Morpheus himself, Laurence Fishburne, and will feature many celebrity interviews with Chuck D, George Clinton, Tim Robbins, Gwen Stefani, Ice-T, Flea and many other famous fans of the storied band.  Everyday Sunshine will most likely debut at the SXSW festival in Austin, TX in March, then have a wider release later this year.  You will also get to see some footage from some vintage Fishbone shows from the mid-to-late 80′s submitted by fans.
