Badfish, longtime Sublime tribute band, on winter tour with groundbreaking original music in tow make stop in Solana Beach on March 8! By Mario Tarradell Badfish is a vibe. Badfish is a sonic house party complete with plenty of gyrating fans sipping libations and enjoying other various extra-curricular activities.. Badfish is feel-good music. For 22 years, the Rhode Island-based band – Joel Hanks on bass, Scott Begin on drums, Pat Downes on vocals and guitar, Danny Torgersen on horns, keyboards, and guitars – have successfully paid tribute to Sublime, the short-lived but influential California group that brought ska-punk and reggae-rock to the mainstream. Badfish’s heartfelt celebration of Sublime’s musical spirit and legacy is so sought-after that they’ve headlined theaters, sold out shows, and played 15-20 gigs a month. But now, Badfish is more. After two decades of Sublime reverence, it’s time for Badfish originality. Badfish is releasing their own songs in early 2024. Their Sublime repertoire will be augmented by some fresh original tracks that promise to blend seamlessly together. And now it’s time for the “High With You” tour. Catch Badfish playing the best of Sublime and the best of Badfish in concert March 8 at 9pm (doors @ 8:30 p.m.) at Belly Up, 143 S. Cedros Avenue in Solana Beach, CA. Tickets are $25-$42; 21 & over, please.

Yet as the years have gone by and we’ve gotten to witness our little show turn into somewhat of a movement within the scene, we are at the point where we feel we have something of real heart and value to add not only to our show but to the American reggae scene.” That means you’ll hear Sublime staples “What I Got,” “Santeria,” and “Wrong Way” intertwined with Badfish’s own groove heavy “High With You,” “Surf Party Lord,” “Trippin’,” and the in-your-face swagger of “FYPM.” The new tunes are vibrant, brimming with reggae beats and rock-punk strut. Resistance is futile, you’re going to move. “With the kinetic energy that the band has amassed over years of performing, the ideas just started to flow out of the blue and we were lucky enough to capture them,” says Begin. “Perspective is a great tool in music composition, and we’ve got plenty of that by now. When it feels right, it feels right…and these songs sure feel right.” Badfish’s “High With You” tour is shaping up to be the biggest of the band’s career. Dates are already set for late December through mid-February with more gigs to be added. With the new original music as part of the set list, Badfish members hope to create a symbiotic balance between yesterday and today that elevates their game. Because Badfish is absolutely a vibe.

The Photographer’s Eye Gallery in Escondido will host an exhibition by Alanna Airitam, "New Histories: Where Present Meets Past", in which she addresses Black history by exploring society's racial past through a new lens. Airitam’s work has been recognized nationally and internationally, and her series, The Golden Age, challenged racial stereotypes by featuring Black figures in portraits done in the style of Dutch Renaissance Masters. Airitam said the work was inspired by visiting museums and being struck by the absence of Black faces in artwork by historic masters. “I made the work because I needed it for myself, for the ability to see blackness in a way that wasn’t so overwhelmingly stereotypical and negative,” Airitam said. The Photographer’s Eye exhibit will mark the first time that some of Airitam's art will be shown in San Diego, where she formerly lived and maintains close ties. Works on display will include “Dueling Dogs” from her Ghosts series, “Bananas” and “Watermelons” from her Colonized Foods series, and works from "The Golden Age." Artist reception: 5-7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 17 Stay Connected on Social Media! Facebook & Instagram
