Cinema Drafthouse: The Story of Fishbone | The Independent

Submitted by the Event Organizer

The rock concert venue The Independent hosts Monday night free movie screenings called Cinema Drafthouse. Free admission, but there’s a two-drink minimum (which we’ve never actually seen enforced). During movie nights, the Independent also serves pitchers of beers, something they don’t do during concerts.

March 19th is Everyday Sunshine: The Story of Fishbone:

Everyday Sunshine is a documentary about the band Fishbone, musical pioneers who have been rocking on the margins of pop culture for the past 25 years. From the streets of South Central-Los Angeles and the competitive Hollywood music scene of the 1980’s, the band rose to prominence, only to fall apart when on the verge of “making it.”

Laurence Fishburne narrates EVERYDAY SUNSHINE, an entertaining cinematic journey into the personal lives of this unique Black rock band, an untold story of fiercely individual artists in their quest to reclaim their musical legacy while debunking the myths of young Black men from urban America. Highlighting the parallel journeys of a band and their city, EVERYDAY SUNSHINE explores the personal and cultural forces that gave rise to California’s legendary Black punk sons that continue to defy categories and expectations.
