When Fishbone first emerged from California, no other band
sounded or looked like them, and the weight of their innovative and iconic
presence is still being felt decades later. Coinciding with the group’s 25th anniversary,
filmmakers Lev Anderson & Chris Metzler have directed a compelling new
documentary, narrated by Laurence Fishburne.Everyday
Sunshine: The Story of Fishbone is both a fascinating and brutally
honest look at the band’s history for longtime fans, as well as a perfect entry
point for newcomers.
Everyday Sunshine is a documentary about the
band Fishbone, musical pioneers who have been rocking on the margins of pop
culture for the past 25 years. From the streets of South Central-Los
Angeles and the competitive Hollywood music scene of the 1980's, the band
rose to prominence, only to fall apart when on the verge of "making
it."
Laurence Fishburne narrates Everyday Sunshine,
an entertaining cinematic journey into the personal lives of this unique Black
rock band, and an untold story of fiercely individual artists in their quest to
reclaim their musical legacy while debunking the myths of young Black men from
urban America. Highlighting the parallel journeys of a band and
their city, Everyday Sunshine explores the personal and
cultural forces that gave rise to California's legendary Black punk sons that
continue to defy categories and expectations.
At the heart of Fishbone's story is lead singer Angelo
Moore and bassist Norwood Fisher who show how they
keep the band rolling, out of pride, desperation and love for their
art. To overcome money woes, family strife, and the strain of being
aging Punk rockers on the road, Norwood and Angelo are challenged to re-invent
themselves in the face of dysfunction and ghosts from a painful past.
The documentary includes interviews with: Gwen
Stefani (No Doubt), Flea (Red Hot Chili
Peppers), Ice-T (rapper), Branford Marsalis (saxophonist), Perry
Farrell (Jane’s Addiction, Porno For Pyros), Questlove (The
Roots), and more. Included in the documentary is 100+ minutes of
bonus features including interview outtakes, deleted scenes and unreleased
photos and performance footage from the bands early years
Happy 25th Anniversary Fishbone!
