Sublime With Rome
1055 Fifth Avenue, San Diego, 92101
Cost: $35 - $60
Sublime was the Long Beach–based dub-rock hit machine (“What I Got,” “Santeria”); Sublime With Rome is the rejiggered remains, featuring Sublime bassist Eric Wilson and singer/guitarist Rome Ramirez, who takes the place of departed Sublime founder and songwriter Bradley Nowell. It was Nowell’s estate that stopped the band from using the original name. Drummer Josh Freese (Vandals, Devo) rounds out the trio that performs primarily the songs of Sublime, which Mr. Nowell’s estate apparently could not stop. They’re touring in support of last year’s ska-bent Sirens and are sure to pack the House of Blues on Friday and Saturday nights.
