But encompassing the sense of place and purpose long associated with Sublime&rsquo\;s music\, Badfish\, a Tribute to Sublime continues to channel the spirit of Sublime with a fu ry not felt for some time. What separates Badfish from other tribute ba nds is that they have replicated Sublime&rsquo\;s essence\, developing a scene and dedicated following most commonly reserved for label-driven\ , mainstream acts. Badfish make their mark on the audience by playing w ith the spirit of Sublime. They perform not as Sublime would have\,or d id\, but as Badfish does.\nBuild A Machine formed in 2007\, naming the group after a lyric from a Jane's \; Addiction song. The bands fir st offering "Once Around The Sun" was a collection of songs written in The Salton Sea\, CA.

With mixing duties provided by Dave Aron (Subli me\, Snoop Dogg)\, Build A Machine's Self-Titled EP offers an eclectic mix of reggae\, funk\, and rock which "harbors back to a time of George Clinton with a dollop of Rage Against the Machine tossed in for good m easure."\nSpiritual Rez\nThere is nothing more mind-bending than divers e sounds and omni-present textures&hellip\;the music that changes your mind and your soul.
