Six hours of memories, music and moshing marked the Enough Already Sublime Rock 'N' Roll Benefit show at the Hollywood Palladium Saturday night. Peers, bandmates and fans of Sublime showed up for hip up and comers like fluf, Ziggens, Voodoo Glowskulls, and of course, for headliners No Doubt. But the underlying theme -- to raise scholarship money for late Sublime singer Bradley Nowell's son, Jakob, and for the Musician's Assistance Program (MAP), was not forgotten.
As might be expected, the first couple of acts, Slightly Stoopid, All Day and Filibuster, who each played 15-minute sets starting at 6 p.m. sharp, plied their trade to a half-full house. But by the time fluf, Ziggens (who are on Sublime's record label, Skunk) and Orange County scene staples the Vandals took the stage, the Palladium was a virtual teen rock fest eager to become one with the trendy, in-crowd South Bay/Orange County music scene.
Pennywise, with a positive, fluid sound leaning more to straight rock than a real ska or punk vibe, stirred things up with the appropriate tunes "Fight 'Til U Die" and an amazing, punked-up version of Ben E. King's "Stand By Me." Pennywise, who like Sublime, has endured the passing of a bandmember, were particularly adamant about the evening's theme, with PW singer Jim railing to the photographers in the front row: "This isn't a media event, it's about something!" before closing with the Circle Jerks' cover "Live Fast, Die Young."
The Long Beach Dub Allstars, a project featuring Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh of Sublime, found fans for their mellow reggae grooves and the Sublime tune "Pawn Shop," though many in the young crowd didn't seem to realize that a rather subdued H.R. from the Bad Brains was guesting on several songs.
A 20-minute Sublime mini-movie was moving and surprisingly well received, reminding the audience and participants of the lost talents of Bradley Nowell, as well as Sublime's kick-back SoCal lifestyle and musical gifts, as the past-Gold sales of Sublime's self-titled major-label debut have now shown.
While there was a dearth of the usual Gwen-o-philes at the Palladium, No Doubt's engaging ska and endless energy was the ideal capper to a long and surprisingly varied night. Gwen Stefani's coltish, coquettish persona was cutesy but truly charismatic, while the endlessly skanking horn and keyboard players incited the crowd to manic proportions.
"Spiderweb," "Don't Speak" and "Just a Girl" were included, but when nearly the entire evening's cast of musical characters joined No Doubt for a marvelous rendition of the Beatles "Ob La Di, Ob La Da" -- a tune that lends itself easily to ska influences -- and Brad Nowell's beloved Dalmatian, Lou, made an onstage appearance, it was a poignant moment of pleasure and sadness. As the Beatles wrote, "Ob la di, ob la da ... life goes on," but sadly, not for Brad
