Throwback Thursday: Angelo Moore discusses Fishbone's "Party At Ground Zero"

This week’s Throwback Thursday takes us back to Episode 245 of Chris DeMakes A Podcast, originally released on February 17th, 2025, with none other than Angelo Moore of Fishbone. In this lively and eye-opening chat, Angelo breaks down the making of their explosive 1985 single “Party At Ground Zero”—a wild mix of ska, punk, funk, and soul with an end-of-the-world twist. He shares stories about the musical and cultural forces that inspired the song, and gives a glimpse into the creative energy that fueled Fishbone’s early days. And if you want to experience that energy in person, don’t miss Fishbone on the road this summer as part of Less Than Jake’s 2025 Summer Circus tour.
