Seminal ska/punk act Fishbone visits Boston this March, performing at new-ish venue The Sinclair. The Sinclair opened a few months ago in Harvard square, fits 500 for shows and 100 for dinner, and is the latest in Bowery Presents owned venues.

Saturday, March 3, 2013, 8pm
The Sinclair, 52 Church St, Cambridge, MA (Red Line to Harvard Square, I imagine)
$16, 18+, Tickets
