EVENTS & SPECIALS

(Subject to Change)

Fishbear blends many musical styles to create a unique and exuberant sound incorporating elements of ska, indie, classic rock, klezmer, jazz, and more. The group is part of a growing number of bands that meld genres in creative ways... like Beirut, Gogol Bordello, and Vampire Weekend, which are taking what was once thought of as 'world' music and making it into something new and exciting.

Fishbear has a seasoned stage presence. Each member of the group has been performing in bands since their early teens and all are accomplished on more than one instrument.

        Lydia and the band debuted when the Fillmore was at its peak as one of the nation's musical Mecca's.  Owner Bill Graham was so impressed with Lydia's voice and the sound of the band that he immediately signed Cold Blood to his new record label.  During the span of six original late-60's, early-70's albums, Lydia Pense and Cold Blood helped, along with Tower Of Power, forge their own specific brand of funk/soul and R&B which came to be known as East Bay Grease.  That music still holds up today, proving that great music is timeless and will continue to inspire generations to come.  Lydia Pense and Cold Blood packed the San Francisco Ballrooms in their heyday, but that was then and this is now. In the now, Lydia Pense and Cold Blood still fill halls with cheering, dancing, foot-stomping fans. Far from fading over the years, Cold Blood has flourished.
