The Long Beach Dub Allstars may not belong as much to the hearts of Long Beach as, say, The Queen Mary or The Spruce Goose, but they and their predecessors, Sublime, have certainly had much more of an impact on the pop culture emanating from the area (and many localities beyond).
Long Beach Dub Allstars And Friends showcased guest singers and MCs the group had performed with, among them Half Pint, Barrington Levy and HR.
At the end of the day, though, all seven Long Beach Dub Allstars are first and foremost devoted to LBDA, both to carrying on the spirit of Sublime and to cementing their own creative identity as successors to that group.

 Entertainment Ave! The Concert Hall - A concert review of Long Beach Dub Allstars from the Q101 Jamboree 2000 - Tinley ...
The Long Beach Dub Allstars opened with a song that I did not know, pretty surprising since most of the stuff that I knew from them was when they were known as Sublime (which was pretty long ago due to the passing of their long time lead singer, Brad Nowell).
This year Long Beach Dub Allstars had the honor and unfortunately were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
They probably would have fared better on the second stage, with a smaller crowd that could have appreciated them more, but their thrash reggae just didn't seem to work on the crowd which was filling in.

It has been six long years since Sublime's front man Bradley Nowell died of a tragic overdose and like all of you I am also searching for a sound similar to Sublime's to add to my CD collection.
With two CD's out one in 1999 and the other in 2001 LBDA is establishing a name for themselves and not just living off of Sublime, Although they do not want people to forget about Sublime.
They mix reggae,punk,ska,rap, jazz and dub all together making it so know matter what type of music you like there is always going to be a track on that CD you enjoy listening to.

Formed from the tragic end of the praised band Sublime (due to the death of its lead Brad Nowell), the Long Beach Allstars bring together the best of the world it left behind with strong new influences.
LBDA's debut Right Back met to favourable reviews, but critics still commented on the fact that the band was weaker without the unique songwriting abilities of Nowell.
Not content to exist only as a electronic band, a rock band, a reggae band, or any other manner of band, Long Beach Dub Allstars emerge as each, and all.

LBDA finally came on, and I enjoyed myself for awhile.
Even with two of the original members of Sublime, the Allstars have had plenty of time to come up with new stuff, and they have.
But whatever it was, I enjoyed listening to Sublime enough that I almost forgot I was watching the Long Beach Dub Allstars and that they really hadn’t written that many good songs of their own.

A recent article in The Stranger reads, "The Long Beach Dub Allstars are proof that despite all of his arrogant junkie faults, Brad Nowell made Sublime what it was." The second half of the statement is true.
But LBDA is not Sublime; and the group will most likely never find a replacement with the same spark that Nowell had, a spark that was snuffed before it had a chance to grow.
But apart from cultivating the talent that lay dormant in Sublime, LBDA has created a community of musicians and artists to fill the gap left by Nowell's absence; including a new guitarist, vocalist, and saxophone and flute player, all of whom have know the band since the Sublime began in 1991.

 In Music We Trust - Long Beach Dub Allstars: Right Back   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
With the same commitment to diversity and genre hopping, the Long Beach Dub Allstars infuse the flavors of Sublime (which fused punk, ska, reggae, dub, pop, rock, and hip-hop into their melting pot music) while, as their name also suggests, concentrating on dub.
Adding elements of pop and rock 'n' roll, the dub not only takes you away to another place mentally, but also finds you singing along and absorbing the warmth and power that surrounds the music.
Another fine example of the band's ability to infuse reggae, punk rock, and pop into their dub is "Soldiers." A rock presence molds with the reggae grooves and a happy middle ground is met as you sit there, both dancing and rocking.

LBDAS never tries to repeat the types of songs that only Brad could create, but instead, creates a new sound that reflects where they are on their musical path from punk to ska to rock hip-hop to reggae and takes along the best of each to create an original style that is hard to match.
LBDAS also has the distinction of having guest singers on tour with them all the time.
Sure, their brightest is gone, but with the talent of these musicians, you can definitely expect them to continuously come out with truly original music.

The Long Beach Dub Allstars were pulled together for a tribute show with proceeds going to Nowell’s son.
He contributes to the "Righteous Dub" and a great cover of Sublime’s “Saw Red.” Not all of the guests are reggae artists; Pennywise guitarist (and Long Beach native) Fletcher plays on "My Own Life" and rapper Dangr contributes his fluid lyrics to "Kick Down."
LBDAS’ own vocalist Opie Ortiz and vocalist/guitarist RAS-1 never seem to truly make their mark.

Right Back, LBDA's debut in '99, saw Sublime's drummer Bud Gaugh and bassist Eric Wilson doing just that—coming right back to bridge the past and the future by evolving Sublime's eclectic sound minus Nowell but with some help from a few friends.
After public tragedy and personal grief, the Long Beach Dub Allstars have emerged with 17 new tracks—stepping forward with some chill vibes to help them heal and transform them into more than “that post-Sublime group.”

The whole time it was, 'Oh shit, Sublime!' In Long Beach, (they) were huge, back in the day.
Following the loss of Nowell, the remaining band members later hooked up with some friends to do a one-off benefit gig as the Long Beach Dub Allstars.
The LBDA's ethnic diversity (Wu is Taiwanese, with other band members being of Nordic, Mexican, Italian, and German descent) parallels the various influences each brings to the rich mix of musical styles evident on Wonders.

There was the multi-platinum success of Sublime's self-titled disc coupled with the death of friend and frontman Brad Nowell of an heroin overdose.
Instead there are twelve lively tracks that flow seamlessly from one song to the next while meticulously maintaining the integrity of their roots.
With Right Back, the Long Beach Dub Allstars have created an energetic and fluid offering that will undoubtably appeal to Sublime fans and reggae purists alike.

The Long Beach Dub Allstars follow their predecessors Sublime in combining all kinds of music genres in a way that would seem impossible, and returning with an excellent CD.
I thought it may be difficult to match the LBDA's previous album "Right Back" and still have the credibility earned by "Sublime," however Wonders of the World contains a far more diverse collection of punk, Dub, Ska and hip hop, whilst still remaining fresh and uplifting.
Wonders of the World remains fluid throughout, displaying an amazing transition from Sublime (as the LBDA used to be named with front man and lead singer Bradley Nowell).

Dotted with oil rigs and neighborhoods past their prime, Long Beach, Cal. is a gray, gritty port town that rises up to meet a matching overcast sky.
Drummer Bud Gaugh and bassist Eric Wilson formed the rhythmic nucleus of Long Beach legends Sublime, whose mix of skanking rhythms and loose-limbed rock won over millions of fans.
Gradually drawn back to music, they assumed the Sly and Robbie roles in an expanding crew whose foremost love of roots reggae helped shape their emerging sound.So the Long Beach Dub Allstars were born.
