BADFISH TO SHARE THE STAGE WITH SUBLIME CONNECTIONS
Sublime Tribute Band to Perform with Jack Maness and Rickshaw February
13 in Los Angeles
Los Angeles, CA—Badfish,
a Tribute to Sublime will
make its annual trek out to the west coast next month, and the tour
includes at least one stop that will feature support from friends of
Sublime, as well as others that influenced the
formation of Badfish.
The expected highlight of the tour will be on
Saturday, February 13 at The Wiltern in Los Angeles, when Badfish
will share the stage with
Jack Maness,
who will be back by Rickshaw. Maness was a long-time friend of
Sublime’s Brad Nowell. Maness’ duet with Nowell featured Jack
sharing vocals and guitar with Brad on Sublime’s “Rivers of
Babylon.” Maness was part of the Long Beach Dub All-Stars along
with Eric Wilson, Floyd Gaugh, Marshall Goodman and Tim Wu. Goodman
and Wu are core members of Rickshaw. Goodman also played some drum
tracks on Sublime’s 40 Oz. To Freedom album. Maness is
touring in support of his debut solo album, Simple Man.
Tickets for the all ages show are $15 in advance, $25 day of show,
and doors open at 7pm. In addition, Maness will be joining Badfish
February 14 at House of Blues in Anaheim. For more information on

About Badfish
Sublime was arguably the most energetic, original and uniquely
eclectic band to emerge from any scene, anywhere, but ended with the
untimely death of lead singer, guitarist and songwriter Brad Nowell
in 1996. But encompassing the sense of place and purpose long
associated with Sublime’s music, Badfish, a tribute to
Sublime has continued to channel the spirit of Sublime with
a fury not felt for quite some time. What separates Badfish
from other tribute bands is that they have replicated
Sublime’s essence, developing a scene and dedicated following most
commonly reserved for label-driven, mainstream acts.
Formed in 2001, Badfish has become one of the
biggest club and theater acts in the Northeast and Midwest.
Consistently selling out many shows at some of the most prominent
venues throughout the country, promoters continue to be in awe that
a tribute band is turning several hundred fans away from the doors
each night. Badfish is rivaling the biggest
tributes in the music business including Dark Star Orchestra and
Super Diamond.
