Went with a friend who knew this band well and I was a newbie... Now I'm a new fan! The band as well as the opening acts were all awesome (and I even met some of the band members who were very sweet and personable!) Had a great time!

I hadn't seen Fishbone in many years, and it was as if not a day had gone by. They sounded great, played an excellent set list, and the show lasted almost two hours. There were a few nice 'local' touches: HR, the singer for Bad Brains, did a guest number, and they opened their classic tune Cholly with a lead-in intro of Chuck Brown's Bustin' Loose. It was my first visit to the newly reopened Howard Theater, but I'm sure it won't be my last.

What a show! 119 minutes of wonderful ska, punk, reggae, funk, and rock had the crowd swooning and swaying back and forth all night long. Front man Angelo has a near magical voice and is quite the sax player while Dirty Walt kept us entertained with his "colorful" comments between each tune as well as providing awesome trumpet licks. Flying Jay's trombone and histrionics set the perfect stage for Norwood's throbbing bass, Rocky's stinging guitar, and Freddy's keyboard wizardry all driven by John's artistic percussion work. Great show from start to finish included a reggae guest song by HR of Bad Brains fame and came to a crashing conclusion with a deliciously beautiful "Sunless Saturday." This was the last show of the 2013 Winter Tour so we'll have to wait until...to witness this tremendous band again. When they show up anywhere near you, BE THERE!

Not my first Fishbone show - nor will it be my last. Those guys consistently bring it, and Sunday's show at the Howard was no exception. The Howard is a great venue - the recent renovation job brought primo sound, lighting, and finishes. The staff is exceptionally courteous and helpful. It all adds up to a great experience - up to and including the guest appearance by HR from Bad Brains.

As a Fishbone fan since I was turned on to them in the '80's, it was awesome to see them still ska-rockin'. Angelo and the gang were tight with all the energy to get the crowd dancing and slammmin' the whole show! Great set, I can only hope to see them again and again. Peace.
Fun venue with a helpful staff. Thx

Ive been a fan of the band for years and have most of their albums. I had never seen them live though I've always heard that they were fantastic. Absolutely true. One of the best shows I've ever seen. Period. These guys should be superstars but then again I'm glad I got to see them in a place as intimate as the Sinclair. A really cool new venue. The opening acts were excellent as well.

WOW! A friend and I attended this performance Saturday night, he a veteran of the band's power, I a neophyte. 114 minutes of bombastic sounds later, I asked him, "How is I never got into this band before now?" No answer to that question could suffice just as words can't adequately describe the multi-talented and versatile musicians that formulate Fishbone. Excellent harmonies interlaced with exquisite instrumentation provided one of the best shows I have ever witnessed. Horns, sax, guitar, keys, and drums played off of each other all night in a seamless symphony of ska, reggae, and rock that left all in attendance screaming for more. That's right...MORE...which is exactly what I'm getting next Sunday in DC and Monday in Baltimore. Fishbone IS RED HOT!

Fishbone put on a show that was as awesome as I expected it to be. The House of Blues Cambridge Room was a nice small venue to see them - although the speakers might have been cranked up a lil' too loud for a space of that size (or maybe I'm just getting old). Despite that, Fishbone played with as much energy for this small crowd as they would for an arena gig. Great show.
