Fishbone – The Reality Of My Surroundings

With this album, Fishbone obtained critical and commercial success with a ranking of No. 49 on the Billboard 200 on May 18, 1991. The album is widely considered by fans and critics as the creative peak of the band. Fishbone experienced a large growth in concert tickets and record sales during this period, making two memorable television appearances: performing “Sunless Saturday” and “Everyday Sunshine” on Saturday Night Live, and “Everyday Sunshine” on The Arsenio Hall Show. (The SNL performance of “Sunless Saturday” has been re-edited in reruns. The original television broadcast showed a brief glimpse of Angelo Moore doing a backflip on stage. The re-edited version simply switches the camera angle, making it possible to see the full flip right after signaling “Special K” (Kendall Jones) to do his guitar solo.)
