No More Sublime

Yesterday, a judge ordered that a group of former Sublime members stop using the band name without approval from the deceased lead singer’s estate.  Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh went on to form the Long Beach Dub Allstars after Bradley Nowell’s death from a heroin overdose in 1996, but earlier this year, with new singer Rome Ramirez, they started performing under the moniker “Sublime” again.  Norwell’s estate took notice and they won a preliminary injunction from U.S. District Judge A. Howard Matz, who ordered the trio to stop performing as Sublime.  Shortly after the ruling, Gaugh and Wilson issued a statement that said: “Our goal continues to be sharing the music and message of Sublime with all of our fans around the world.  We intend to take the court’s advice and work on a business solution to this issue.  We hope the estate follows suit so the music of Sublime can live on and be accessible to everyone.”

To see the group you can still check out StubHub for Sublime tickets, but a new name will likely be popping up soon!
