Why Did John Bigham Leave Fishbone?
Chris W. Engler
I'm a big fan of Fishbone's music but I've fallen out of touch with the
group lately. There's still an appalling lack of internet-presence for
this band, but I found one page that made mention of the fact that John
Bigham left the group in around March of this year and that there's a new
guitarist (Stacey T. Guitar?) and a keyboardist (whose name escapes me).
I'm curious as to why he (Bigham) left the band and what the circumstances
were. I'd also like more info about the new Fishbone soldiers. John Bigham
fit in extremely well and contributed a lot, I thought, and I'm sure he'll
be missed, but Fishbone has gone through roster changes in the past and
they're not in the habit of surrounding themselves with no-talents. Any
new album info would be appreciated, too.

I've been listening to Fishbone since they first started in the mid 80s! I've
even met Angelo Moore once! (he told me about his book)--Anyway--John left
Fishbone becuase, from what I've heard, he was tired of touring and wanted to
stay home more.
The 2 NEW members of FB are Spacey T (guitar)--and Brewster (keyboards).
Spacey has been around for years--he was in an 80's metal band called Sound
Barrier--and he aslo played with Mother's Finest on their "Black Radio Won't
Play This" (YES--that's the REAL title!!) CD. I think he played with the
BusBoys, too--but I'm not sure. When he first joined FB--some people thought
he was Vernon Reid (ex-Living Colour guitarist)--because of his dreads and his
rock guitar style...
Brewester was in an 80's ska/reggae band called The Untouchables.
I can't wait to see this new version of Fishbone....I know people wh HAVE seen
them and they say the shows are more live and action-packed than ever!
