Long Beach Short Bus feat. Eric Wilson of Sublime November 19, 2005

Long Beach Shortbus splintered from the popular Southern California band Long Beach Dub Allstars in 2002 after infighting amongst the members caused a premature dissolution. "What basically happened with the Long Beach Dub Allstars was there were too many cooks in the kitchen," Shortbus manager Capri Kanwal explained. "So you'd have the band touring around in two different buses, because there were two different camps. We're the band from one of the buses. We got along," he said of Shortbus, which released its first full-length, Flying Ship of Fantasy, in June of 2005. Though three of Shortbus's four members -- bassist Eric Wilson, vocalist RAS-1, and guitarist Trey Pangborn -- played in the Dub Allstars, the band's roots go back further still to the popular garage-punk act Sublime, for which Wilson was bassist.
