Tonight: Sublime with Rome


If you were a child of the nineties (or a stoner or hippie) Sublime was inescapable. I remember visiting my friend Brian in California in '96 and it seemed like they were the only band anyone talked about. Sublime was everywhere, whether that influence was direct or not. I still believe that shirtless, white suburban kids with bleached blond hair and baggy shorts owe a debt of gratitude towards Sublime.

We all know what happened next. Brad Nowell died a tragic death, the band broke up while their popularity surged and the legend of Sublime grew and grew. In recent years mega fan Rome Ramirez joined the fold, inspiring the band to get back together and start playing shows again.

Tonight we find Sublime with Rome (I'm happy they called it that by the way. Sublime without Brad is kind of misleading) at Artpark along with Rochester's Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad. It's only $15; a price well worth all the memories that Sublime has given to us over the years. I ain't got no crystal ball, but I can tell you tonight will be all about summertime in the living easy.
