drummer and taught his son how to play drums.
Wilson and nowell met in 6th grade. A few years
later, while Nowell was on break from the
University of California, Santa Cruz, Wilson
introduced him to Gaugh and a short time later
the three began to play. It was Nowell who first
introduced his band mates to ska and reggae.
They formed Sublime in 1988 and went out to
the club circuit but were refused. Sublime later
founded their own label, Skunk Records. In
1995, Sublime played on the first Warped tour
and was the first to be thrown off the tour for one
week because of their unruly behavior. Their
daily regimen was waking up, drinking, drinking
more as the day went on, playing, and then
drinking all night long. Nowell’s dog, a
Dalmatian named Lou, (listed in many songs),
traveled with them, and when they brought the
dog out on stage one night, Lou bit some
skaters. That was basically the last straw for the
promoters and people trying to keep the peace
during their shows. The drinking,
unpredictability, and the out-of-control Dalmatian
were all part of Sublime’s explosive appeal. For
Nowell, his wild ride to artistic inspiration was
fueled by harder drugs than alcohol. On May 25,
1996, Brad Nowell died of heroin overdose.
Members include Bradley James Nowell (born
February 22, 1986, died May 25, 1996 of a
Heroin overdose), singer, songwriter, guitarist;
Eric Wilson, bass, “Bud” Floyd Gaugh IV,
drums.
