Tonight, directors Chris Mezler and Lev Anderson presented the world premiere of Everyday Sunshine, the long awaited Fishbone documentary, at the prestigious Los Angeles Film Festival.
During over 100 minutes, Everyday Sunshine gives an intimate yet objective look at the inner depths of past and present Fishbone, as a band and as individuals.
A lot has already been written about the stars that Lev & Chris have on film giving their props to Fishbone : Tim Robbins, Gwen Stefani, George Clinton, Flea,... But the real tour de force that Chris and Lev have achieved is to propose a multi-layered movie that tells an entertaining story to the casual watcher and, at the same time, brings tears of emotion to the greying first hour Fishbone soldier who already knows the story. Of course, you will find exclusive - never heard of - footage of very early shows (84-85) and comprehensive insights into the development of what Fishbone has become today. For one, the story of the 2008 Shattuck Down Low reunion with Kendall Jones will blow everyone's mind.
But what's really fresh in this documentary is the portrayal of the intimate relationship between band members, current and past. The making of this documentary clearly was a cathartic process for Angelo and Norwood, that most probably helped them stand where they stand today. And for that, the familyhood should be eternally grateful to Lev & Chris.
The world premiere of Everyday Sunshine, the documentary of directors Anderson and Metzler is scheduled for June 19th at the Regal 11 theater in Los Angeles at 10pm. Other viewings are on June 21st at 8pm (Regal 9) and June 23rd at 5:30pm (Regal 11). After that, the documentary will be presented at various festivals and the producers expect a theatrical release later this fall. A limited edition DVD is expected for the summer.

Everyday Sunshine To Premiere At The 2010 Los Angeles Film Festival
Everyday Sunshine: The Story of Fishbone will be presented at the 2010 Los Angeles Film Festival. The documentary is directed by Lev Anderson and Chris Metzler and has been in the works for these last four years. It features the history of the band through its ups and downs, the creative process and insights from Flea, Ice-T, Perry Farrell, Gwen Stefani or Branford Marsalis in addition to past and current members of Fishbone. The story is narrated by Laurence Fishburne. The documentary is competing in the documentary section. The LA Film Festival is a very prestigious film festival and takes place in downtown LA, June 17-27. More news on the viewing schedule when it is released.
Fishbone announced today its first tour in Brazil ever. The tour will bring the nuttness to Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro & Porto Alegre on four dates between the 22nd and 25th of July. Fishbone hasn't played in South America since November 2000 when they played a couple of dates in Argentina. Argentina will not be forgotten this time around either since Fishbone is opening this small tour with a date in Buenos Aires (07/20) - I hope for all the Porteños that Los Fabulosos Cadillacs will take part in the party !
The Spring Skaward tour with The English Beat has just finished, and clearly, from what the great press reviews say, Fishbone stole the show. So here's your chance to catch Fishbone mastering their Scorpion Back Pinch on the slopes of Colorado ski resorts later this month or playing major festivals in the coming months. Check out the tour dates section for more info.
