AboutMatt Maguire Expertise I am new to allexperts, but have plenty of knowledge and experience in the realm of Sublime. Guarantee: you will receive an answer within 2 days of posting the question -- I have no feedback so far and would like to build some.
I can answer most questions about the band, the significance of the lyrics, the show dates,
the unreleased albums and tracks, misinformation, and, above all, I am an expert on their
influences and related music.
Experience I have been a huge fan for 14 years, I ran a server which distributed Sublime's live and unreleased music 24/7 for 4 years, I have answered questions about the band daily for years on their old website, and I know some of the largest collectors in the world. I created the 5 CD bootleg "Rewind Selector" which documents the influences of Sublime and was the topic of a Spin Magazine interview.
Education/Credentials I did not study music in college, but I majored in English, so I can write a clear response. I worked as a research assistant in the past, so I have skills in research if I need to figure out an answer.
Past/Present Clients Sublime fans aren't my clients, but I have distributed swag and rare tracks to all those who want them for years at no cost.

Question Huge huge sublime fan, always have been. I'm coming out to LA for New Years. I'd like to check out some live local music and don't know where to go to find some. Any help there?
Answer Scott --
First of all, I don't claim any of this is Sublime-like, but if you were on Amazon, it might say "People who bought Sublime ALSO bought..."
As far as being up to date on the current shows, well I'm not. I just moved to Atlanta from Boston, so I'm not the west coast expert. I know some who are, so I asked them for some tips for you. Here's what I have so far, but I'll be sure to add some updates in the near future.
social distortion 12/11- 12/23 and 1/1 and 1/2 hob (house of blues) anaheim...more dates at hob hollywood
The Ziggens 12/20/07 ceros, 12/21/07 dipiazzas... etc
