1999–2007years

Long Beach Dub All-Stars rose out of the hardest kind of ending. Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh had been friends since childhood and had built Sublime with Bradley Nowell in 1988; after Nowell died of a heroin overdose in 1996, the two started over in 1997 with RAS-1, of the Long Beach reggae band Jah Children, on guitar and vocals, and pulled in Sublime regulars Michael "Miguel" Happoldt, Todd Forman and "Field" Marshall Goodman. Wilson was clear that nobody was trying to replace what Sublime had been.

At first they were a sprawling ten-piece, and Right Back, in 1999, has that loose, crowded, backyard-party feel: "Trailer Ras", "Saw Red" and "My Own Life" roll along on dub bass, reggae lilt and punk-rock scrappiness. Three members left soon after it was finished. Wonders of the World followed in 2001, with DreamWorks behind the band, and "Sunny Hours", a sun-dazed singalong featuring will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas, lived up to its title. The All-Stars broke up in 2002 and came back together ten years later.
