Sublime Is Back With A New Singer

Last night the two remaining members of Sublime, bass player Eric Wilson and drummer Bud Gough reunited the band with a new singer, Rome, from Newport Beach. It's the first time since May 25th, 1996 that Eric and Bud have played under the Sublime name. That night singer Bradley Nowell died in a San Francisco hotel.

The reunited Sublime played a 'secret' show at the Cantino Los Tres Hobres in Sparks, Nevada. Sublime played with Bud's other band Del Mar. Del Mar posted this on their MySpace page:

Del Mar & Sublime

"So Del Mar played the gig at Cantina last night in Reno, it was packed and amazing. What really fucking killed it was SUBLIME reuniting and playing with new singer, Rome. We're fucking stoked for Bud, Eric, and Rome- Bud's still playing with Del Mar, and Sublime doesn't have any firm tour plans or anything YET, but we'll keep you posted on their progress. Peace!"

A few comments have ben left around the internet from people who attended the show:

From COS: "I was there last night. It was Eric, Bud, & Rome. You can never replace Brad.. but it was a bad-ass show!!! Rome has a great voice, guitar skills, and killer energy. It does more justice to the music to play it live then to let it rest forever only on recordings!! The crowd was thirsty for this show and the energy was surreal!! They dedicated the set to Brad & said it was the first time they had played those songs live in about 15 years! They played a new song too which sounded pretty bad ass!"

From OCW: "I was there and while totally wrong, it was fun. There was a good vibe in the place. A good time was had."

You can hear some of Rome's music on his MySpace.
