BADFISH: A Tribute to Sublime
http://www.badfish.com

The phenomenon known as Sublime, arguably the most energetic, original and uniquely eclectic band to emerge from any scene, ended with the untimely death of frontman Brad Nowell in 1996. Encompassing the sense of place and purpose long associated with Sublime’s music, Badfish: A Tribute to Sublime seem to be channeling the spirit of their predecessors with a fury not felt for some time. What separates Badfish from other tribute bands is that they have replicated Sublime’s essence. Badfish makes their mark by playing with the spirit of Sublime--they perform not as Sublime would have, or did--they perform as Badfish does. The attitude of Sublime cannot be faked, so Badfish doesn’t try--they’ve got their own and its one that works.

Scotty Don't

Scotty Don't. An idea conceived by the veteran rockers of a group widely known as Badfish: a Tribute to Sublime. Scotty Don't is more than a band, it's a concept derived from years of touring and stewing creativity that has finally been wrangled into one place. The members of this group are loaded with road tested form and skill, and are whole-heartedly ready to launch the next generation of music fueled by blood, soul, and an intensity that is truely, in all senses of the word, original. Scotty Don't is a no-frills, take it or leave it musical concept being put out for those whom are ready, willing, and able to open their ears. Whether you're a rolling stone, a crazy fool, a freebird, a soul to squeeze, a voodoo chile, a NineInchNail, part of a bad religion, or alone standing on a stairway to heaven, come as you are and experience the harmonized collective madness...the psyco-melodic chemistry that is......Scotty Don't. See you at the show.

Sound System: Operation Ivy Tribute
http://www.myspace.com/soundsystemopivytribute

We're four guys who have been playing punk, ska and hardcore for years. As a fun project, away from our other bands, we get together and play the great songs of Operation Ivy. We also like to throw in some Rancid, NOFX, M-80, Minor Threat and whatever else might feel right at the time. If you're looking for a reason to just go out and have some fun, come check us out. Oh yeah...we sound just like Op Ivy, so be prepared to get up-front and sing along! Its 1989, stand up and take a look around!
