LA-Based Ska-Punk legends Fishbone play the Rickshaw this December with special guests, Jer and King Youngblood.

This show was originally due to take place at the Imperial. All tickets purchased for the Imperial are honoured at the Rickshaw Theatre.

Fishbone

Legendary in the history of American Ska, Rock Fusion and (so-called) Black Rock, Fishbone started their twenty-five-year professional career in Los Angeles’s burgeoning, Alternative Rock music scene of the mid-1980s. Their sound has often been imitated but never duplicated. They have toured worldwide with such bands as the Beastie Boys, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Roots, Les Claypool/Primus, Fela Kuti, The Dead Kennedys and many more. Angelo Moore’s ability to combine thought-provoking, humorous social commentary with Fishbone brethren’s frenzied, up-tempo music and frantic, euphorically entertaining stage show has cultivated their undisputed reputation as one of the best live acts in music history. Moore himself is renowned as one of the very best live showmen; Gwen Stefani of platinum-selling Ska/Pop band No Doubt cites Moore as her idol. Composing, creating, recording, releasing and performing original music for over two decades now Fishbone and their music have been featured in numerous films, commercials, and TV programs. Their catalogue has sold over 750,000 records worldwide, solidifying their rock n’ roll legacy as one of the most influential alternative rock bands in music history.

Jer

JER is a fresh new take on the sound of ska punk. Jeremy’s inspiration comes from many ska bands old and new, such as Kill, Bruce Lee Band, Hepcat, The Skatalites, and Fishbone. While most Ska-Punk bands drive their “Punk” sound from the 90s pop punk style, JER seeks inspiration from modern “indie” punk bands such as Jeff Rosenstock, Pup, Illuminati Hotties, Bad Moves, and the Beths.

King Youngblood

King Youngblood is focused on reclaiming rock music, specifically black fronted rock packed with strong song writing, Afropunk attitude and an undeniable exhilarating live show.
