Sublime (band)
Sublime (band) in the news
Sublime is an early 1990s rock band from Long Beach, California, who played a mix of reggae, ska, punk, hip hop, surf rock, and garage rock. Sublime consisted of three members Brad Nowell (vocals and guitar), Bud Gaugh (drummer) and Eric Wilson (Bass guitar). They have changed their style many times, at one time playing honest-to-the-bone rock and roll, at other time surrealistic dub music, experimenting wildly in one genre, then falling back to their roots.
Brad Nowell died in 1996 from a heroin overdose, just four months before their hit self-titled album was released. His death was particularly tragic as he had just had a son, and many devotees honour his memory on the date of his death every year. Bud Gaugh and Eric Wilson continued to perform as a group called Long Beach Dub Allstars until 2002, when they split up and now are in the bands Dubcat and Long Beach Shortbus respectively.
