Tell me, are you a Badfish [fan] too?

Badfish: A Tribute to Sublime is back and bringing Scotty Don't. The two bands will be playing a show at the Intersection Wednesday, September 16.

Following the passing of Sublime lead singer/songwriter/guitarist Brad Nowell in 1996, Badfish was formed in 2001. Since its beginning, Badfish has been carrying the torch for Sublime, ensuring that the original and eclectic spirit of the band lives on.

While Badfish is a tribute to Sublime, the band does not try to imitate the original- rather, it pays homage to Sublime by covering the beloved songs in their own unique way. The band rocks a fun show by combining the spirit of Sublime with a twist, brought out by the band's four talented musicians. "The attitude of Sublime cannot be faked, so Badfish doesn't try- its own tribute is one that works," says manager Mike Farley.

Badfish continues to be one of the biggest tribute acts around, selling out shows all across the country. The band has sold out shows at the Avalon, House of Blues venues, the Lincoln Theater, and many more.

Playing the September 16th show with Badfish is the band Scotty Don't. Scotty Don't is the brainchild of the veteran rockers of Badfish, displaying original material in support of the tribute band since 2006. The latest album of Scotty Don't, Songs From the Back Porch, is a blend of reggae and alternative rock that is quite catchy- one listen is never enough.

Over the past few years, Scotty Don't (and Badfish) have developed quite the following, playing for 150,000 fans and has sold 10,000 copies of their self-titled debut album. The band plans to support its second effort, Songs From the Back Porch, with a tour and college radio campaign. The members of Scotty Don't are in this for the long haul- the soul of music is in its blood. Scotty Don't and Badfish are road tested and Sublime fan approved.

Tickets to the show are $15 and are available in advance or at the door the day of the show.
