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 Hey. I was wondering if you knew if Sublime is coming to Atlanta, GA or any other areas close to Atlanta?
Thanks,
Gabby
Answer Gabby --
I'm also living in Atlanta, just north of the perimeter by about 2 miles. Sadly, there's no chance of us seeing Sublime here -- their last show was May 24th, 1996 and they pretty much disbanded then as a result of the lead singer/guitarist/songwriter dying from an overdose of heroin. The band had continued success, many of their older albums going platinum, but they have not recorded new material.
Bud, Eric, Opie, Ras1, and Marshall Goodman were all part of a project called the Long Beach Dub Allstars and released 2 studio albums, but they broke up around 2001.
As far as things to see in GA, well I just moved here -- I'd take suggestions! Definitely see Cowboy Mouth when they come through. It has nothing to do with Sublime, but is the best live show you'll see.
