Fishbone! Date: Thursday, Oct 30, 2008. Time: 8:00pm. Location: Celebrity Showroom at John Ascuaga's Nugget. Price: $18. Genre: Ska/Pop. Fishbone first gained attention with their live concerts, earning a reputation as one of the most diverse bands in the alternative rock genre. Their unique stew of different styles, mixed with hectic energy and pounding rhythms, was a huge influence on the funk/rock/new wave/metal/rap hybrid that would become popular in the 1990s. The band did not have any official recordings until the release of their self-titled EP, Fishbone, in 1985, which featured the classic ska favorite "Party at Ground Zero'. In 1987, in support of their first full-length album, In Your Face, the band performed 'Jamaica Ska' in the Annette Funcello/Frankie Avalon reunion movie 'Back to the Beach.'
