Sublime hints at new music, hopes for No Doubt collab at Coachella
Following the recent reunion of Sublime's Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh with the late frontman Bradley Nowell's son, Jakob, the iconic SoCal group is officially back together and scheduled for several upcoming performances. In an exclusive interview with SPIN, Gaugh and Nowell dropped hints that new music may be in the works for the reunited band.
When asked about their plans post-Coachella, Gaugh responded optimistically, "We'll see how it goes from the rehearsals, but I'm pretty certain we're gonna see some music coming out with this project." Nowell, while not directly addressing recording plans, expressed his enthusiasm for Sublime's upcoming shows and a desire to contribute to the band's legacy. He mentioned his hopes to engage with alternative scenes and collaborate with cool alternative artists in the future.
Looking forward to their Coachella performance, Nowell entertained the idea of bringing Gwen Stefani on stage to perform their 1994 duet, "Saw Red." Gaugh enthusiastically supported the idea, stating, "I mean, come on. It seems like a no-brainer."
The reunited Sublime initially regrouped in December at a benefit for Bad Brains' H.R. In addition to Coachella, the band is set to perform at the inaugural Brightside Music Festival this year.
