bassoctopus Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 (edited) Kings X playing a few weeks before too. And my coverband - Dogman - doing Fishbone and Kings X covers in between at Trillians 15th April Strange thing going on with tickets though - I bought mine when they went on sale and they arrived last week, but a friend has been unable to buy tickets even from the academy box office, they claim they don't know what's happening apparently. Weird, especially since they've now sent me my 6 tickets. They're doing a full tour and you can buy tickets for all the other dates Edited February 8, 2011 by bassoctopus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr H Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 (edited) Those dates are a bit... fishy (!) if you ask me - Leicester Sub91 on Wed 2nd March AND Monday 2nd of May, Cardiff The Globe both the following days. I suspect the March dates are a misprint. Also, none of those shows are even within driving range from me, so fingers crossed for an Amsterdam show (looking for an excuse to go back over there, though Primus at the Paradiso may be on the cards). Fishbone - love them. EDIT: March dates are definitely a misprint - they're [url="http://fishbone.net/dates/"]touring the States[/url] then.

We'll be doing 90s alt - Alice in Chains, janes Addiction, Kings X, Fishbone, Living Colour, Pearl Jam etc. I saw Fishbone in Leeds 2008 (as well as in the early 90s). Awesome gig.

You really nailed Norwood's tone and style on that mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassoctopus Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) Cheers. I ended up getting the Warwick Infinity after a chat with Norwood in 2008 - I've been using a thumb NT 5 for about 20 years - just before I saw Norwood using the same at the Riverside - I'd been unable to find another bass that had the mid range punch of the Thumb but with a more rounded tone - tried Streamers and hated them. Norwood suggested trying an Infinity and then he used one at the gig that night - I was blown away by the sound. Amp is a Thunderfunk with 2 x 90s Trace cabs (2x10 and 4x10) We are considering getting a couple of mates to do horns and try and do another Fishbone track at next one. Trouble is Fishbone tracks are so difficult to arrange without keyboards and 3 vocalists. Also trying to work out what's going on in those tracks isn't always straight forward To get back on topic, I'm going to try and speak to the Ncle academy about what's happening with this gig as I need another couple of tickets for some mates coming over from the US. I'll keep you posted Edited February 10, 2011 by bassoctopus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassoctopus Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) A bit mysterious still.... I've spoken to Ticketweb, who confirm that my tickets are still valid for the event. However, they are not selling any more at the moment. It is not sold out, and it has not been cancelled or postponed as far as they are aware. The guy just said keep trying the site over the next few weeks. He also said, because I have tickets they'll let me know straight away if it's been cancelled, so I will update on here if that happens. Maybe they're waiting for the promoter to pay the deposit on the room? Reminds me of the time they re-scheduled a Newcastle gig as they were rumoured not have been allowed through customs after their previous gig in Amsterdam Edited February 10, 2011 by bassoctopus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisnameistaken Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Tempting. Last time I saw them it was only Angelo, Norwood and Walter left, and now I hear Walter's not with them any more. Last time it was a good gig but not really like seeing Fishbone y'know? I might give this a miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr H Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) As far as I can tell, Dirty Walt is back. Go on, they'll be great! [i]Everyday Sunshine: The Story Of Fishbone[/i], last year's documentary, should be out on DVD by summer.

bassoctopus Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Saw them in 2008 and they are back to strength with a full brass section. Almost as good as the Reality tour Recommended Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisnameistaken Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 One thing I will say about them is that Angelo always seems to have the same energy he had in the '80s. Most performers could learn a thing or two from that man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
