Madness and Fishbone at Hammerstein Ballroom
On Thursday, May 30, 2024, English band Madness closed their first US tour in over a decade at Hammerstein Ballroom in New York, NY. They were joined by their tourmates, Fishbone, who played NYC for the first time with their new lineup, and will return for a free show in Brooklyn in a few weeks.
I covered the show for Impose Magazine and the full gallery of the sold out show is now available here.
Fishbone, 1985.

Today would have been the 55th birthday of Jeff Buckley…Jeff and Christopher Gordon Dowd were roommates, best friends and wrote music together. Jeff’s song #dreambrother was written for our own #charliedown...as we get older, so does everyone else. Jeff accidentally died at 30. Way too soon. Enjoy and cherish every moment. This photo was from #lollapalooza, one year before the release of his album #grace on Columbia Records. From roommates to label mates.-via the Fishbone FB

Jeff Buckley with Fishbone's Christopher Dowd backstage at Lollapalooza 1993 in Stanhope New Jersey • July 13th •
Buckley and Dowd were very close friends and songwriting collaborators.
Dowd recalls
"Jeff lived with me for like a year and a half, and I knew him as a guitar player only. I had no idea he could even sing. He was an awesome housemate. We just had fun, man, had a good time, being open, honest, talking for hours. The Jeff I knew was as funny as hell, but completely socially awkward at times.
I can tell you what he was to me and what he stood for. How he had no filter, which was both hilarious and priceless. And rare. He had no agenda—he was air and earth unfettered! Tell me, how many people in your life you have known like that, that still have a childlike innocence? A Zen-like understanding of human beings. And a heart as big as a whale..."-via The Year Grunge Broke on FB (quote is from therecoup.com, 8/23/19 and 25 Years of Grace)
