Sublime, now reunited with original singer Bradley Nowell’s son Jakob on vocals and guitar, stopped by The Howard Stern Show on SiriusXM to perform their beloved hit “Santeria.”
The band provides a faithful rendition of the song, with original drummer Bud Gaugh reprising his drum part beat-for-beat and Jakob Nowell demonstrating that the apple does not fall far from the tree. After concluding the performance, Nowell gives a fist pump and says, “Baba Booey,” confirming that the new edition of Sublime still has that same old silliness from the early days. Watch the performance below.

After bassist Eric Wilson played in the offshoot Sublime with Rome for nearly 15 years, he regrouped with Bud Gaugh to resurrect the band with Jakob Nowell assuming his late father’s frontman duties. They played Coachella, Orlando’s Brightside Festival, and California’s punk-centric No Values fest, in addition to numerous other festival dates and one-off performances still to come (get tickets here).
Earlier this summer, the band stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to perform “Feel Like That,” Sublime’s first new song in 28 years. Meanwhile, Jakob Nowell and Rome Ramirez (of Sublime with Rome) recently chatted (separately) with Consequence to discuss the new lineup change, honoring the band’s legacy, and future plans.
