Angelo Moore is not just a lead singer for some band. Angelo is an all around performer: he sings, he dances, he plays several instruments, and he recites his own poetry under the pseudonym Dr. Madd Vibe. In the early days of Fishbone, Angelo played his saxophones and shared the position of lead vocals with Chris Dowd. Even before Chris left the band, Angelo was taking a more prominent role as the lead singer. Besides playing his vast collection of saxes, Angelo also plays the cuica, the theremin, and the drums.

In the last few years, Angelo has been concentrating on his poetic side project as Dr. Madd Vibe. In 1993, Dr. Madd Vibe published his first book entitled The Missin' Link Presents Dr. Madd Vibe's Comprehensive Linkology. The Linkology is a philosophical concoction of Love, Hate, Spirituality, Social Breakdown, Racism... Some of the Doc's writings have been released as Fishbone songs, while others were released on his enhanced CD of the same title as his book. The CD was originally released in 1997 as an enhanced 7-song CD. I believe that this CD was rereleased with more songs on it and new cover art.

Angelo has been very busy. He appears on several other bands' albums. Norwood and he appear in a few Priceline.com commercials. I'll be adding all of Angelo's appearances soon. Most of this info will be taken from the Atomic Underground.
