Los Angeles band Fishbone emerged in the 1980s with a powerful mix of punk and funk at a time when music was dominated by rigid genres. We talk with founding members of Fishbone and the directors of the new documentary “Everyday Sunshine: The Story of Fishbone,” about breaking the barriers between black and white music and why the band didn’t become the superstars that many musicians and critics expected them to be.
