When you hear the sounds of Sublime with Rome, you hear the distinct sounds of Long Beach, Calif. The music is sun-drenched, ripe for a summer day and ready for a killer tan. This was the legacy that Sublime started with original singer Bradley Nowell and now, almost 25 years after his death, the vibe that he, Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh made so popular lives on.
For years, Wilson and Gaugh wanted to carry on the momentum that they had created with their original singer, first doing so in the band Long Beach Dub Allstars and then later in this newer iteration of their old band, Sublime with Rome. Rome Ramirez began collaborating with the original Sublime members in 2009, when he was only 20 years old. A decade later, Rome has carved out his niche with Wilson and current drummer Carlos Verdugo (formerly of Tribal Seeds). They still play Sublime classics like “Wrong Way” and “What I Got,” along with originals like “You Better Listen.” The party goes on.
Mandalay Bay Beach, 9 p.m. June 14, starting at $51.38 plus tax and fee. 800.745.3000 Ticketmaster
