Badfish: A Tribute to Sublime is a Rhode Island-based tribute band dedicated to playing the music of Sublime. The band should not be confused with the southern California-based band of the same name. 〔(The Badasses of Badfish ). ''OC Music Magazine'', June 8, 2011. Accessed October21,2011.〕 〔(Badfish and Natural Heights at House of Blues- Anaheim ). ''OrangeCounty.com'', July 15,2011. Accessed October 21, 2011.〕 The group is named after a song appearing on the album ''40oz. to Freedom''. Formed in 2001 at the University of Rhode Island, the group's members, who were computer science majors, began playing local Rhode Island clubs and quickly began selling out shows.〔Steven Kurutz, ''Keep Sublime Alive''. SPIN, November 2007, pp.68-76.〕 They continued touring the East Coast and Midwest of the U.S., becoming popular on college campuses and among Sublime fans who never were able to see the band due to frontman Bradley Nowell's death in 1996.〔(Tribute Band Channels Sublime's Unique Sound ).
