BadFish appearing in Western New York

I had no idea that our very own Badfish was a muisician and will be appearing here in Western New York along with the group Sublime.

You shoulda told me you were comin'!

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 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. 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. Since then the group has done multiple national tours per year. In 2008, the band was nominated for Best Tribute Act in the Boston Music Awards.

The group played 152 shows across the United States in 2006, selling just under 100,000 tickets and grossing $1.4 million in sales. The group has sold out venues such as House of Blues locations in Chicago, Atlantic City, and Las Vegas, the Toronto Opera House, the Starland Ballroom in New Jersey, and Lupo's in Providence, RI. Members of the group also play in a non-tribute act called Scotty Don't, which sometimes acts as the opener at "Badfish: A Tribute to Sublime" shows. The band played at the Hoodwink festival in New Jersey in 2009, and Shwagstock in Salem, Missouri in 2010.

That dude is sporting a ferocious set of man-boobs.  Our BF would never allow such a catastrophic invasion upon his person.

For those who might be wondering, that is a blob fish. 

"The blob fish (Psychrolutes marcidus) is a deep sea fish of the family Pschrolutidae.  It inhabits the deep waters off the coasts of mainland Australia and Tasmania as well as the waters of New Zealand."

Today is Friday.

For me and mine, the Sabbath (Shabbat) comes soon.

Will Badfish makes his appearance as the Gefilte Fish?

In this neighborhood, that is the very definition of the People's Fish.
