Ska-punk outfit Sublime with Rome will continue introducing the nation to new frontman, singer/songwriter Rome Ramirez, on their in-progress road trip, which now extends through summer.The newly minted Sublime with Rome, which first hit the road last month, will take to the road again beginning June 5th in Irvine, CA. The 20-date outing works its way all the way to the East Coast before wrapping up August 18th in Tempe, AZ.
"To go back out on the road and play this music again is a gift," Gaugh said in a press statement. "We want to celebrate the music and share the experience for not only our fans, but also for ourselves. It's been 14 years and is long overdue."
Sublime with Rome marks the reunion of bassist Eric Wilson and drummer Bud Gaugh, who last year performed with Ramirez as Sublime, but was ordered to stop by a California judge last fall when the estate of deceased founding member Bradley Nowell threatened legal action against the use of the band's original name. Nowell died of a drug overdose in May 1996 at the age of 28.
In a statement issued at the time of the ruling, Gaugh and Wilson said they would honor the injunction but that their goal was to continue sharing the music and message of Sublime with all of their fans around the world. "We intend to take the court's advice and work on a business solution to this issue," they said. "We hope the estate follows suit so the music of Sublime can live on and be accessible to everyone."
Sublime with Rome will be at the Sunset Cove Amphitheatre in Boca Raton, Florida on Sunday July 25, 2010.
