One of our favorite bands here at Big Reggae Mix is the Long Beach Dub Allstars, who we had the incredible pleasure of watching and interviewing at the One Love Festival in Long Beach, California.

The band is a special treat at One Love. Their newest track is Tell Me, and it has an enjoyable vibe to it. Check out the new video below and here is the link to pre-order their latest release:

Check out the back story of this band:

Initial career (1997–2001)
Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh met in childhood (in 1979) and later started their first garage punk band, consisting of drums, bass and vocals. They later formed Sublime with Bradley Nowell. The Long Beach Dub Allstars (LBDAS for short) were founded after Nowell died in 1996 of a heroin overdose (frequent contributors to Sublime including Michael "Miguel" Happoldt, Todd Forman, and "Field" Marshall Goodman are also members of the band).


Eric Wilson says, "We will never replace the greatness that Sublime did or what Bradley has done." The band was originally a 10-piece and they recorded their debut recording called Right Back, which shortly after completion in 1999 saw the departure of three members. Their second album, Wonders of the World was recorded and released in 2001. It featured "Sunny Hours" featuring will.i.am from The Black Eyed Peas. "Sunny Hours" was also used as the theme song for the Friends spin-off Joey.

Breakup and aftermath (2002–2012)
In 2002, rumors that the band had broken up began to surface. Apparently the band had taken a hard-drug-free vow and some of the band's members had broken this vow, which caused Bud Gaugh to quit and join Eyes Adrift with Krist Novoselic of Nirvana and Curt Kirkwood of Meat Puppets. Gaugh was also playing with Kirkwood and Michael Happoldt in the band Volcano. Eric Wilson, Trey Pangborn and RAS-1 formed Long Beach Shortbus with former Slightly Stoopid and temporary Sublime drummer, Kelly Vargas (later replaced by Damion Ramirez). Marshall Goodman, Jack Maness and Opie Ortiz formed Dubcat, with members of Hepcat. Shortbus has had slightly more success than Dubcat, though the latter has yet to release an album. Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh have been reunited in Sublime with Rome, a new incarnation of Sublime which chiefly performs songs by that band and features Rome Ramirez in place of Bradley Nowell.

​
Reunion (2012–present)
On September 1, 2012, Long Beach Dub Allstars played their first show in 11 years at the Queen Mary Events Park next to the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California, where they opened for The Wailers and played alongside Tribal Seeds.[2] Then on September 30, 2012, Long Beach Dub Allstars performed at the Yost Theater in Santa Ana, California, where they opened for Fishbone. They played another show at the Brixton Southbay in Redondo Beach, California on January 25, 2013 with the local Redondo Beach Band Special "C". The reunion lineup consists of Marshall Goodman "Ras MG" on drums, Michael "Miguel" Happoldt on lead guitar/vocals, Opie Ortiz on vocals, Jack Maness on vocals/guitar/keys, Tim Wu on sax/flute/vocals, and Edwin Kampwith on bass.

Although there is no set release date, be on the lookout for some new music coming from the Long Beach Dub Allstars in the future. When asked what kind of style the fans could look forward to hearing in the new material, Jack Maness stated, “We’re doing some of the things that we’re true to and we’re also expanding into some other stuff.”


According to Opie, the band has been back in the studio working on new material. “Where ever we can get a good sound” is what was said in regards to that. Without giving too much away, the Long Beach legends hinted that we can expect some guest appearances on their new releases from artists they have worked with in the past, as well as new artists that they have plans on working with in the future.

San Diego —

Music is very close to the Latin heart.

The genres that Hispanics enjoy cover a wide variety. One of them is reggae, the classic, dance-friendly Jamaican style that will be the focus of Saturday’s debut edition of San Diego Bahía Fest. It will take place at Embarcadero Marina Park North, across from Seaport Village.

The lineup includes Latin reggae bands from several countries. Mike Beltran, one of the festival’s organizers, believes there are enough Latinx Reggae fans in Southern California and Baja California to make it pay off to bring such acts as Culutra Profética from Puerto Rico, Rawayana from Venezuela and Alboroise from Jamaica to perform at Saturday’s 21-and-up event.

Bahia Fest is not just for Latinos, according to Beltran, who hopes the event will draw as many as 5,000 attendees.


“We are focusing on all fans of reggae music, because reggae is the world’s music,” he said. “There isn’t another genre that comes close to it in the ways that it unites people from all cultures. The purity of the beats and rhythms of reggae music transcend language boundaries to the point that, regardless of what language the music is sung in, the soul communicates, not just the tongue.”

Beltran added that in his travels to Brazil, Peru, Costa Rica and throughout Mexico, reggae music is the most common musical genre.

“In every corner of the Americas, from the smallest fishing village to the biggest concrete jungle, you can hear reggae music or find a reggae music fan,” he said.
Saturday’s lineup will also include Tijuana’s Somos Uno, along with Alikla, E.N. Young and Leilani Wolfgramm. In addition to music, an array of food and drink options will be available.

Commentary and Analysis 
by Mitch Santell, Co-Founder

Each and every Saturday (following Errol Brown's  “Reggae Legends” show) from 1 PM to 7 PM, you can hear pure Dub Mix joy for your listening pleasure.. A hand selection of known and rare instrumental tracks hand picked and selected by Scott Brown, our Director of Programming.

If you are new to all of this or are a seasoned Reggae listener, more than any other form of Reggae, it is Dub Reggae that is a sub genre that inspires a lot of passion in music followers.

Here is simply one of 100's that I found and wanted to share with you:

The task of selecting the 20 best Dub albums was a long, carefully co-ordinated, complicated and often tedious job, but after some eights months of arranging, re-arranging, re-mixing and shuffling the end result is there for you to see. The choices are somewhat inevitable, with King Tubby featuring quite a bit in the list. And whilst capturing the essence of Dub music, and spotlighting its appeal, the Top 20 also includes a grand variety of good Reggae music, including such varied types as Pablodic Rockers, Rocksteady, Channel One, Instrudub, Agrovators Muzik, Mighty Two Soundwarps, Strickly Rockers Dub, and maniac Super Ape soundz. All are highly recommended as essential additions to your Reggae collection -- the Top 10 at least -- and will indisputably delight and please you. So for your edification...
