Way Gone Wednesdays:  Fishbone

DateWednesday, May 25, 2011 at 8:59AM

Fishbone was one of those bands that fell between the second (Madness, The Specials) and third (Reel Big Fish, Less Than Jake) waves of ska.  They toured for years, put on a helluva live show but never really got their due (in my opinon).  I heard this cut again yesterday and it brought an enormous grin to my grill.  Love it - a blitzkrieg ska tune about the Russian and Cuban nuclear threats in the 80's.  One things for sure - these cats were Way Gone.

 

 

And watch them kill it live in Tokyo.....
