Bud Gaugh is an American drummer who is a member of the band Sublime, and previously played in Long Beach Dub Allstars (1997–2002), Eyes Adrift (2002–2003), Volcano (2004), and Sublime with Rome (2009–2011), as well as Phil & the Blanx, Del Mar, and Jelly of the Month Club.
Gaugh and Eric Wilson played together in garage punk bands, such as Juice Bros., throughout high school.
When Gaugh rejoined, Sublime became a five-person collaboration between himself, Wilson, Nowell, Goodman, and Michael Happoldt.
[5] In 1996, Sublime disbanded due to the death of lead singer Bradley Nowell from a heroin overdose.
[9] It was announced in early 2009 that Gaugh would be reuniting with Sublime at Cantina Los Tres Hombres in Sparks, Nevada, on February 28, with new frontman and guitarist Rome Ramirez in the place of Bradley Nowell.
[11] However, not long after the October 2009 performance at Cypress Hill's Smokeout Festival, a Los Angeles judge banned the new lineup from using the Sublime name, and the band was forced to change its name.
On January 12, 2012, in an interview posted on budztv.com, Gaugh expressed regrets about touring and recording with Sublime with Rome, stating, "In hindsight I would not have used the name.
[15] He later joined The Yamarone Brothers, described as a "Bigfoot rock band", and performed with the trio Phil and the Blanx.
