FISHBONE, ALL WE HAVE IS NOW

LA’s crossover legends Fishbone are back, releasing a brand new single, their first since 2007’s “Party With Sadaam”. The new track - “All We Have Is Now” - is accompanied by a brand new music video with superb direction by Chris Graue and crew.

Fishbone’s amalgamation of styles has long been their trademark, bringing a sparkling vitality to easygoing songs while combining disparate sounds. With their new single and video, the band preach mindfulness - keeping our eyes on the present and appreciating what life has to offer.   To convey this, the video has the band playing from enclosed places, surrounded typically by TVs, touching on the ability of television and other media to take us out of the moment and keep us fixated on things outside our control. It’s a memorable, jaunty tune that is sure to worm its way into your head after just a single listen!

The single was recorded and produced by Fat Mike - of NOFX fame - and will be included on their upcoming compilation Bottle Music for Broken People.

For more information on the collaboration between NOFX and Fishbone and their upcoming plans, check out this excerpt from the press release by Fishbone’s Norwood Fisher:

“Fishbone and NOFX go waaaay back. We’re in the mutual admiration club, great appreciation for our individual approaches to the music that we’re known for. I don’t remember exactly when Fatty 1st expressed interest in producing Fishbone but it seems like it was a long time ago. A random encounter in a parking lot in more recent history, led to the current song. Mike’s batshit crazy but highly functional, with incredible integrity and follow through. Just right for Fishbone’s batshit crazy, dysfunctional world. Yet we are functional enough to make it this far, asses! It was a long time coming and we hope you love it like we do. Enjoy if you will.”

Fishbone have announced world-wide tour dates with shows kicking off at this year’s SXSW festival and continuing through June, with more to be confirmed. The band will be playing their own headline shows (including in New York City,) headlining festivals and doing a run of dates supporting Les Claypool’s Flying Frog Brigade.
