약력

Bradley James Nowell (February 22, 1968 – May 25, 1996) was an American musician who served as the founder, lead singer, andguitarist of the ska-punk band Sublime. He died at the age of 28 from a heroin overdose shortly before the release of Sublime's self-titledmajor label debut. Raised in Long Beach, California, Nowell developed an interest in music at a young age. His father took him on a trip to the Virgin Islandsduring childhood, which exposed him to reggae and dancehall music. Nowell played in various bands until forming the group Sublime with bassist Eric Wilson and drummer Bud Gaugh, whom he had met while attending California State University, Long Beach. As Sublime gained success, Nowell struggled with a worsening addiction to heroin, eventually dying of a heroin overdose while Sublime was on tour on May 25, 1996.

3 Ring Circus - Live at the Palace, October 21, 1995 catches the trio of late frontman/guitarist/songwriter Bradley Nowell, bassist Eric Wilson and drummer Bud Gaugh in top form before a packed house at the legendary Palace in Hollywood, CA. Sublime tears through 27 songs, including their hits 'Date Rape,' 'Badfish,' and '40 Oz To Freedom,' as well as covers of classic songs that reflect the band's broad stylistic range of influences ('54-46 Was My Number' by Toots & the Maytals, 'House of Suffering' by Bad Brains and the Grateful Dead's 'Scarlet Begonias'). More than 78 minutes of the band's performance and on-stage antics are on full display in a sold-out setting, with remastered and remixed multi-source live audio culled from the original master tapes.
