Badfish brings their faithful recreation of Sublime's Southern California sound to Brooklyn Bowl's combination venue. The tribute band has built a reputation for capturing the laid-back ska-punk fusion that made Sublime a staple of '90s alternative rock, delivering the band's mix of reggae grooves, punk energy, and beach-town storytelling. The Blizzy Tour marks another chapter in Badfish's long-running celebration of Sublime's catalog, from the radio hits everyone knows to the deeper cuts that fans still debate.
Brooklyn Bowl provides an ideal setting for this kind of show – intimate enough to feel the music, with the casual atmosphere of bowling lanes and comfort food adding to the relaxed vibe that suits Sublime's music. The all-ages format means this could be someone's first time hearing these songs live or a nostalgia trip for those who grew up with the original band. Standing room keeps the energy flowing, letting the crowd move with the reggae rhythms and punk breakdowns that define the Sublime sound.
