Hey there! 

On Monday night, I got another proof for how full my head is right now - not, that I needed (another)one! 

It's been a year that a friend introduced me to the music of Fishbone, a band I never heard of before, but loved instantly. In my defense: just like Dog Eat Dog, Fishbone had its popularity peek when I was still far from listening anything else but cassettes for kids. I think I was just born in the wrong decade. But hey, better late than never! So I got to know Fishbone just last year, and I really liked it! I checked online for upcoming tourdates, but the only European dates that were out back then where to far away. I remember checking again early last summer, but nothing was in any reasonable distance to travel there alone. As autumn was coming up and with it my final thesis came due, I banished any idea of far distant shows, as I need every day to write now. 

So, you can imagine my shock when I checked my mails on Monday night. My friend, who got me to know Fishbone in the first place, wrote, that I should report him how the show was, as they were performing in Frankfurt!! I hadn't checked for dates in quite a while, so I was completely ignorant of them playing for 30km from my place that very night!!! I grabbed my camera, jumped to the car and got there just in time to enjoy two very good supportbands (Ngobo Ngobo, and Senior Allstars) and, most important, FISHBONE LIVE!!

Now I'm back in the library, sorting the pictures, and remembering an amazing night! But no time to dwell or write long blog-posts (oops), I gotta get back to my essay. Enjoy the pictures, and if you ever get the chance to see Fishbone live, DO IT! 

Cheers, Jessi

PS: There's a great new documentary about Fishbone, called "Everyday Sunshine - The story of Fishbone"!
