Sublime T-ShirTS

Sublime was an American band that originated in Long Beach, California. Sublime consisted of three members: Brad Nowell (vocals and guitar), Bud Gaugh (drums), and Eric Wilson (bass guitar). Sublime achieved major mainstream success with their self-titled third album; however, Nowell died of a heroin overdose shortly before it was released, and Sublime ceased to exist. Sublime is still considered quite influential today. Worldwide, Sublime has sold 17 million albums.

Sublime began in 1988 in Long Beach, California as a Reggae/Rock/Punk band and grew to fame in the mid-'90s. They combined such genres as reggae, punk, and rap. Sublime released just two albums during the first seven years. Lead singer Brad Nowell died of heroin overdose on May 25, 1996 in a hotel room, just two months before the release of their self-titled third record, which became a hugely successful release based on the single 'What I Got'. This came seven days after his wedding to Troy, who'd given birth to their son, Jakob. Sublime collapsed, but the album was still slated for a July release, so the obviously inappropriate "Killin' It" title was dropped and it was released as a self-titled album. A number of posthumous releases followed, among them 1997's Second-Hand Smoke, 1998's Stand by Your Van, and Sublime Acoustic: Bradley Nowell & Friends. A 3-CD/1-DVD box set of demos, rarities, and live recording, called Everything Under the Sun, was released on November 14, 2006. The music of Sublime is still being carried on by tribute bands such as "Wrong Way","Seasonal Brew" "Sublemon" and "Badfish".

Following Sublime's demise, its surviving members, Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh, began a new band under the name "Long Beach Dub Allstars" (Disbanded in 2002). Long Beach Dub Allstars also included many frequent contributors to Sublime, including Michael "Miguel" Happoldt, Todd Foreman, and "Field" Marshall Goodman. Brad Nowell's beloved dalmation "Lou Dogg" can still be visited in a museum in Long Beach CA. However in 2007 he was stolen in the dead of night by someone unknown. Some people believe it was Bradley himself others think differently.
