Fishbone at Turntable in Indianapolis on Saturday, June 28, 2025!
Fishbone
Fishbone is a band. Fishbone is Red Hot.
Starting in Junior High School as part of the bussing program transporting students to schools within or outside their local school districts as a means of rectifying racial segregation, Fishbone were breaking stereotypes. This essentially was the spark that started the band’s creative and influential drive that would lay the foundation that other bands would follow for decades to come.
Born out of the punk rock scene of Los Angeles, CA, Fishbone came out as a force of songs and live energy — leaving bands not wanting to follow them. A feeling that continues today.
Signed to Columbia Records in 1984, Fishbone released four albums and three EPs and toured the world, headlining shows and festivals and leaving people stunned — and still one of the best shows ever seen. A constant statement that is still used today from fans to artists who’ve shared the stage with them.
After years of touring and rotating members, Fishbone in 2025 is back to their most solid lineup, which includes original members Angelo Moore (vocals/saxophone) and Chris Dowd (keys/vocals), rounding it out with John “JS” Williams (trumpet/vocals), drummer Hassan Hurd, Aroyn Davis, and the return of Trace “Spacey T” Singleton on guitar.
With their last critically and fan-acclaimed EP produced by Fat Mike of NOFX (released on Fat Wreck Chords in 2023), in 2024 Fishbone is getting ready to reclaim their live touring throne — leaving the audience wanting more, thinking more, influencing younger bands, and paving the foundation and legacy they’ve been laying for decades.
With their latest single “Racist Piece of Shit” coming out ahead of the 2024 elections and creating much controversy and praise (as Fishbone has done for decades), they will be following up with their new album, Stockholm Syndrome, coming in early 2025.
