About The Artist

Bud Gaugh is the original drummer and co-founder of Sublime, known for his high-energy, punk-driven drumming that helped shape the band’s iconic ska-punk sound. A true Long Beach native, Bud brought raw grit and groove to every track while staying grounded in his love for surfing, skating, and his deep connection to animals —especially dogs. His passion for music and creatures alike is part of what made Sublime’s spirit so authentic and enduring.
