California Rumor

Former members of Sublime, Bud Gaugh and Eric Wilson, were recently faced with a preliminary injunction in California last week which forbids them to perform or record under the original band name. The estate of the band’s late singer Bradley Nowell are legally pushing to uphold his wishes for Sublime to not continue without him. A rep for the estate said “The point we tried to make is that we encourage these gentlemen to go out and play. We think they’re great musicians. We just don’t think it’s appropriate to call a group that doesn’t have Bradley and has a new lead singer Sublime. It’s consistent with Brad’s intentions that we seek to protect the name. The court agreed that Bud and Eric and the new lead singer didn’t have the right to go out and call themselves Sublime.”
