SECOND HALF
The band Fishbone from South-Central LA has been called one of the most original bands of the last 25 years. Their music combined rock, punk, ska and funk, all while challenging racial stereotypes, and the political order of the music industry. The new documentary Everyday Sunshine: The Story of Fishbone follows the band as they work to reclaim their musical legacy and debunk myths of young Black men from urban America.
