Nearly 14 years after the unfortunate passing of singer/guitarist Bradley Nowell, surviving members Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh are back and with a new singer for their first tour since then. Fortunately, their tour will make a stop through Indianapolis for a show on April 29 at the Murat Egyptian Room at Old National Centre (formerly known as the Murat Centre. Same building, different name).
Now for those that noticed the name change (even I was thrown off by this when I heard the announcement on X103), yes, this is Sublime. You know, that band that gave us those catchy reggae/punk/funk/ska songs like “What I Got,” “Wrong Way,” “Santeria,” and “Doin’ Time.” The “-with Rome” was added due to a trademark lawsuit filed by the Nowell estate. The case was dismissed last January and the band decided they would press on with the name “Sublime with Rome,” reflecting the name of their new singer/guitarist Rome Ramirez.
