Fishbone – “Live (In Bordeaux)”
Record Label: Ter A Terre
Genre: Ska Funk
Band Link: www.fishbone.net
Buy on Amazon.com
Fishbone have never released an official live album until 2009. That’s crazy considering they have been known as a premier live band for years! The band released this CD/DVD back in February in the States, but I believe it was released earlier overseas? Fishbone played a show in Bordeaux, France on April 23, 2008 and it was recorded and filmed for this release. This is a must-have for Fishbone fans!

Band Links: www.earthwindandfire.com, www.chicagotheband.com
It’s a new concert season at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts in Bethel, NY. Bethel is the home of the original 1969 Woodstock site, and it’s a great place to see a concert! Bethel Woods has only been hosting concert events since 2006 and last night’s Earth, Wind & Fire and Chicago concert kicked off the 2009 season. The concert was a lot of fun and both bands were excellent in their own way.

Aggrolites – “The Aggrolites IV”
Record Label: Hellcat
Genre: Reggae/Funk
Band Link: link
Buy on Amazon.com
The Aggrolites are back with their brew of 60s ska, 70s reggae, and a splash of classic funk. While they emulate one too many Trojan boxsets far too closely and with little modernity, the music generally works very well. No matter what, it’s hard to dislike simple upbeat guitar, melodic organ, and bubbling bass. “By Her Side” is a good example, with a musical accompaniment that could’ve been on an Alton Ellis record.
