On their way to becoming one of the most original acts in rock history, Fishbone have shattered everything — from rules to barriers to expectations. With an alt-rock eclecticism that makes the Red Hot Chili Peppers look like Limp Bizkit, there just isn’t another band quite like Fishbone. Now, they’re returning with the towering purpose of celebrating the 40th anniversary of their landmark debut album, 1986’s In Your Face.

But the stage has always been where the Fishbone phenomenon is in full, electrifying effect. I once saw frontman Angelo Moore dive off the balcony in this very room. Now I’m not holding the man to it or anything — that was many years ago and he’s now almost technically a senior citizen. But some sort of insanity is still a good bet whenever Fishbone take the stage.

6 p.m. Friday, May 1, The Beacham, foundation-presents.com, $28.50.
