There are few if any tribute bands out there that rival the cult-like following of Badfish – A Tribute to Sublime. Packed in like sardines at Captain Hiram's “Grand Sand Bandstand” on the Indian River in Sebastian, Florida, the 1,100 diehards of all shapes, sizes and ages were the living proof. Fun dreadlocks, flowing alcohol and funky-scented air were the vibe of the night, with a heavy police presence to ensure safety. The weather was cooperative, the spirits were abundant and the music was spectacular. It was an ideal night to pay homage to the 90s SoCal Punk-Rock-Ska trio, Sublime.

91X Wrex the Halls in San Diego featuring Social Distortion, Death Cab, Florence and Many More.

91X Wrex the Halls had a myriad of great performers including Run DMC, Blink 182, Social Distortion, Death Cab, Florence + Machine, Noel Gallagher, Switchfoot, Everlast, Pennywise, Cage the Elephant, Airborne Toxic, Naked and Famous, and Mutemath. The event spanded the evenings of December 10th and 11th at The Valley View Casino Center in San Diego, California. There was a great sense of community as most of the bands checked out each other from the stage side and conversed while waiting to play their set. The 12 bands only had hour long sets so they played their strongest songs to have a very full night of great rock and roll.
