We recently added Everyday Sunshine: The Story of Fishbone to the DBRL collection. The film played at the Ragtag last year and was named the top film of 2011 by Rotten Tomatoes. This is the latest film from the filmmakers that created the documentary Plagues & Pleasures on the Salton Sea. Here’s a synopsis from our catalog:

Fishbone rose to become one of the most original bands of the last 25 years. With a blistering combination of punk and funk, they demolished the walls of genre and challenged the racial stereotypes and political order of the music industry and the nation.
