Satan BabyLon (LP) - The newest chapter in the FISHBONE story got under
way Last night as the NUTTSACTOR 7 threw down the gauntLet of previous
incarnations and ran through a set of favorites spanning the gamut or
their 20-year career. Dr. Maddvibe took the stage first to teLL the
mostLy young white audience about his frustrating experiences trying to
reach Jah Jah On the TeLephone. Turning to his trusty theremin cued the
rest of the band to join him, the first audibLe addition being the
souLfuLL organ of Mr. Anthony Brewster. Proving the Psychotic Friends
Nuttwerk is stiLL in fooL effect, they Launched into UnyieLding
Conditioning, the toon most recentLy steadfast upon this reporter's
mentaL pLayList. The fuLL horn section fits reaLLy nice, but I stiLL
had a underwheLming empty feeLing from seeing FISHBONE minus Dirty
WaLt...

The band, incLuding I-Timothy on trombone, (didn't catch his name) on
trumpet and former SuicidaL Rocky George on guitar, seemed to be having
a Lot of fun on stage most of the night. This was quite refreshing,
especiaLLy those moments of spontaneity 'when probLems arose'. One
probLem might have been the Lunch box size stage monitors. At times,
parts of the mix wouLd drop out and come back watered down. We got to
hear some different shit, stuff that hasn't been heard for awhiLe,
incLuding Another Generation (?irony? you decide...) The Suffering,
They aLL Have Abandoned Their Hopes, and U.G.LY. Rocky was fuLL of
energy, the KarL MaLone of Fishbone if you wiLL, pLaying every minute
Like it's the pLayoffs. The horns are stiLL Learning the charts, and
background Lyrics. Brewster is unstoppabLe. His church organ styLings
during Junkie's Prayer were making me wanna pray for forgivenutts....

Your LoveLy LoyaL List members Lisa, Mig, and Cathy (who journeyed 5
hours south from the grey area), aLong with yours truLy heLd court
right up front, in the Norwood zone. Lisa repeatedLy started the chant:
Norwood is Red Hot... HopefuLLy they'LL fiLL in the rest of the
detaiLs, and Mig wiLL post his fabuLous photos. It's aLways a pLeasure
to kick it with these kids, feLLow fishbone soLdiers and keepers of the
fLame. After the show I had the pLeasure of speaking with the fabuLous
ms. Nerre and finaLLy picked up Dr. Maddvibe's Comprehensive LinkoLogy,
which he signed.

Eye'LL Leave the second guessing for the suckas that got nuttin' beta
to dew. As Long as there's a nutt, eye'LL be there to bust it...

SpeciaL Love and wishes of amelioration to hockey girL.

Good Night Austin Tejass, wherever you are...
