It\u2019s been 30 years since the Long Beach-born iconic band Sublime<\/a> released its groundbreaking self-titled album shortly after the passing of founding lead vocalist Bradley Nowell.<\/p>\n

Now the band, known for blending reggae, punk, ska and alternative rock, is being honored by the The Grammy Museum with a new exhibition dubbed \u201cSublime: Straight From Long Beach.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt celebrates their history, the community they come from in Long Beach and also the next next chapter in their history,\u201d said Kelsey Goelz, curator at the Grammy Museum.<\/p>\n

The exhibition features items from the band\u2019s history and comes just before the June release of the new album \u201cUntil the Sun Explodes,\u201d which marks the band\u2019s first full-length record with Nowell\u2019s son Jakob as lead singer and guitarist.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe exhibit also involves Bradley\u2019s son Jakob taking over as frontman of the band,\u201d Goelz said.<\/p>\n

The band<\/a> was founded in 1988 by Bradley Nowell on vocals and guitar, Bud Gaugh on drums and Eric Wilson on bass. Their first self-produced album, \u201c40oz. To Freedom,\u201d and follow-up \u201cRobbin\u2019 the Hood,\u201d preceded their 1996 breakout self-titled third album.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe last Sublime record that will ever be made is Self-Titled. There\u2019s no replacing history, period. \u2018Until the Sun Explodes\u2019 the album is an epilogue, and \u2018Until the Sun Explodes\u2019 the single is the epilogue to the epilogue. It is a tribute to the expansive works of Sublime, it is an acknowledgment for all that my father has done for me my entire life, and most importantly it is a thank you. I love you dad, and I owe you my life,\u201d Jakob Nowell said in a statement.<\/p>\n

In the exhibition, which runs through Sept. 7, people will be able to see handwritten lyrics to Sublime hits such as \u201cWrong Way\u201d and \u201cGarden Grove,\u201d early flyers, promotional materials, the white bucket hat Bradley Nowell wore in the music video for \u201cBadfish,\u201d video footage of the band plus Instruments and equipment used by the original Sublime lineup<\/a> and photos. One item of note on display is a blue electric guitar that Bradley Nowell smashed during a live performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe smashed it and you get to see it all broken up,\u201d Goelz said.<\/p>\n
