Badfish: A Tribute to Sublime Set To Perform Originals at Toad’s Place

Before Badfish became known as the tribute act that revives the music of 1990s alternative rock phenomenon Sublime, they were simply three musicians experimenting with original tracks in their previous ventures. Fast forward to today, and they've established themselves with a repertoire deeply rooted in Sublime's influential catalog. Yet, the regional band comprised of Joel Hanks, Scott Begin, and Pat still nurtures a creative spark for crafting their own music. This blend of original work and Sublime's hits is now a feature in their performances, showcasing the musicians' range and passion for evolution.

Badfish and the Legacy of Sublime

Fans of Badfish are accustomed to hearing the familiar and beloved strains of Sublime's music at concerts. It's a testament to the enduring legacy of Sublime, a band whose fusion of ska, punk, and reggae left an indelible mark on the '90s music scene. Badfish honors that legacy by bringing Sublime's songs to new audiences and keeping the spirit of the late Bradley Nowell alive.

From Covers to Originals

While cover songs are a staple, the Badfish experience transcends mere imitation. The band has begun to pepper their sets with original compositions, signifying a step forward in their musical journey. These original pieces are a nod to their roots and an expression of their personal artistic identities. Their upcoming show at Toad's Place in New Haven on December 27th promises to be an exciting mix of the classic Sublime sound and Badfish's fresh material. Fans can expect a night of nostalgia interwoven with new tunes that might just become their next favorites.
