this week in In defense of ska, Fishbone bassist Norwood Fisher talks about the band's wild career. Listen above, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Fisher delves into the nitty-gritty of Fishbone's surreal career with moments opening for Gallagher, hanging out with karate kid star William Zabka and meeting Dave Grohl in the '80s when he was in Scream. He also discusses the band's connection to hip-hop (including the names Run-DMC, Grandmaster Flash and Furious Five, and more) and how it relates to their recent fall tour with GZA.
On the other hand, Fisher admits that he initially thought Fishbone had invented a new genre: fast reggae. He talks about being inspired by Funkadelic's rhythm section, saying that “we were playing reggae rhythms, but speeding them up with punk-rock energy.” Hey, wait, that's ska!
