Live at the Sitz: Badfish (A Tribute to Sublime)

Friday, February 15 & Saturday, February 16, 2027

Doors at 9:00pm | Show at 10:00pm

Wrong coast, right vibes. Straight outta Rhode Island, Badfish is bringing a little Southern California sunshine to the middle of an Alaskan winter. For 25 years, they’ve been keeping Sublime’s reggae, ska, and punk spirit alive, and now they’ve got a growing catalog of their own to throw into the mix. No palm trees required. Just good music, cold drinks, and plenty of Sublime.

ABOUT BADFISH

For 25 years, Badfish has channeled the music and spirit of reggae/punk/ska legends Sublime – arguably one of the most iconic acts of their generation – while infusing every performance with an unmistakable energy all their own. Formed in Rhode Island in 2001 out of nothing more than a love for Sublime’s catalog and a desire to share it, Badfish – Patrick Downes on guitar and lead vocals, DanET on keyboards, trumpet and guitar, Mario “Beans” Sepulveda on bass, and Ziggy Coffey on drums – became a full-time touring phenomenon: a hundred-plus shows a year, headlining theaters and major festivals across the country, and a devoted, multi-generational following most tribute acts never come close to building.

Now Badfish is writing its own chapter. This Fall, the band releases its first full-length album of original music on Ineffable Records – the culmination of a singles run that has pulled in millions of streams and slid seamlessly into the live set alongside the Sublime staples.

Their next single, “Son Of A Gun” is slated to drop in early October 2026. It follows “Topanga” – a heavy reggae dirge cut with NYC’s own SunDub – plus “Bad Things” (ft. DJ Hoppa), “Surf Party Lord” (w/ Mihali), “F You Pay Me” (w/ Grieves), which has crossed a million streams, and the band’s debut original “High With You” (w/ Little Stranger), now past two million.
Twenty-five years in, Badfish still throws the best party in the room – now supercharging their Sublime set with a dose of their own songs.
