Sublime’s music has this timeless, sun-soaked quality that transcends generations — it sounds as fresh blasting from a speaker in 2026 as it did in the ’90s. Badfish has spent years proving they’re the best band out there for keeping that spirit alive and channeling it into rooms full of fans, and their Blizzy Tour hits Daryl’s House this April. It’s going to be an absolute vibe.
About Badfish – A Tribute to Sublime
Badfish is widely regarded as the premier Sublime tribute act, and that reputation is well-earned through years of relentless touring and performances that go far beyond tribute. Sublime fused ska, punk, reggae, hip-hop, and rock into a sound that was entirely their own — a genre-blending masterpiece that came out of Long Beach, California and conquered the world. Their influence continues to ripple through alternative music decades later, touching everything from indie rock to modern ska-punk. Badfish captures that energy with the kind of authenticity that has earned them a dedicated following of their own, separate from just being a tribute act. They don’t just play the songs — they channel the whole feel, the whole spirit, the whole laid-back-but-electric energy that made Sublime special.
The Venue
Daryl’s House in Pawling brings an intimate, clubby atmosphere that works surprisingly well for Sublime’s catalog. The venue’s warm sound and close quarters mean you’ll feel every bass line and guitar skank right in your chest. It’s a different energy than a festival stage, but honestly, it might be even better — Sublime’s music was born in small rooms and house parties before it went global, and hearing it in a space like this brings it back to those roots.
