Fishbone's Angelo Moore has taken inspiration from an unlikely source: Britney Spears.
In 2007, the pop singer shaved her head. "She did that because she needed a change," Moore said in a phone interview last week. "She probably did it because she needed to be able to look into the mirror and see a different person. And from there, if she saw that different person, she would probably perform from a different perspective, which would be a fresh and new one.
"So in my particular case, these days, I've been wearing a wig."
Fishbone will be performing at RIBCO on March 12, and to appreciate Moore's wig-wearing ways, it's helpful to consider that the band has been around since 1979 (when Moore was in his early teens), and it hasn't been an easy ride.
