Sublime: A Band of the 90s
Sublime
Sublime was a band of the 90's who played their first gig back in
the summer of l988. This performance that started the famous
Peninsula Riot of Long Beach, CA during the 4th of July. This band
was once the average garage band that every kid wants to be in. But
they changed from backyard beer buddies, into a great musicians.
Sublime began recording in early 1992 when they joined up with Long
Beach's local studio Skunk Records where they recorded they
incredible CD, 40oz to Freedom. The CD has sold 30,000 CD's
without Distributor. The CD's were sold out of the back of trunks in
the band member's cars. The bands new release, Robbin The Hood,
sold over 2,000 CD's in less than two weeks. This CD was a great mix
of new and different sounds. Both records were made for under
10,000 dollars. Sublime is not just a band, but a perfect example of
any beach dumb in CA.
Sublime is more of a mood and an attitude that applies to every
skater, surfer and snowboarder out there. The instant hit single, Date
Rape , blew up huge real quick. But the band once described
themselves, "we're not a one-off, blow-up all at once kind of band.
Our goal is to create a long career of catalog pieces and a loyal and
constantly growing fan base." The tragic death of the singer,
songwriter and guitarist, Brad Nowell goal got cut short.. But not
before sublime which also included Bud Gaugh the drummer and
Eric Wilson the bassist, recorded a a great variety of music. The story
of Sublime is full of sad, strange twists, but this is the strangest, Since
Brad Nowell overdosed before his band became a big hit, before he
had a chance to become a big rock star, his death has been oddly
forgotten and it feels like he is still there playing and singing. Bradley
Nowell died on May 25, 1996, in a San Francisco hotel room, after
shooting up some heroin that was much too potent for his
