Sublime with Rome
Apr 13, 2010
The highly anticipated Sublime with Rome spring theatre tour is selling out. Due to overwhelming demand, the band has announced they will immediately add second shows following sold-out nights in Los Angeles and New York. In addition, the band has confirmed adding new dates in Reno on April 24th, Indianapolis on April 29th, Columbus, OH on April 30th and Boston on May 3rd.
Drummer Bud Gaugh and bass player Eric Wilson recently announced plans after 14-years to officially take to the stage once again with new frontman, singer/guitarist Rome. Officially dubbed Sublime with Rome, the group will reintroduce themselves and Sublime's music to fans across the country with an exclusive 10-city/12-date intimate spring theatre tour. All shows will feature support act The Dirty Heads, whose new hit single "Lay Me Down" (co-written by and featuring Rome) is currently racing up Alternative chart. Rolling Stone recently profiled the group and named them one of the "Best New Bands of 2010."
One of the most notable and successful ska-punk bands of all time, Sublime has sold over 17 million albums worldwide with the group's music remaining in constant radio rotation across the country. Influential Los Angeles alternative station KROQ has listed Sublime as the #3 act in their annual "biggest bands" list for the last six years in a row with the single "Date Rape" ranking as the all-time most requested song at the station. To this day, the group's multi-platinum landmark debut album "40oz. to Freedom," lo-fi follow up "Robbin' the Hood," and multi-platinum self-titled major label debut (a virtual greatest hits set in itself) are all widely regarded as music collection staples. Formed in Long Beach in 1988, Sublime's final performance was in the spring of 1996.
