On March 17, 1995, Sublime hit the stage at the White Rabbit in Austin, Texas, bringing their raw Long Beach energy to one of the city’s most active live music rooms of the era.
At the time, the band was deep in the grind, touring hard and steadily expanding their reach beyond Southern California. Shows like this one in Austin were key to building a national following, with Sublime’s mix of reggae, punk, ska, and hip hop connecting with crowds far from home.
This particular performance lives on through audio recorded by Brady Bunton, offering a rare and authentic snapshot of Sublime’s live sound during a pivotal stretch of their early career. It captures the band before mainstream breakthrough, when their reputation was being built one show at a time.
Moments like White Rabbit 1995 reflect the foundation of everything that followed. No major label push, no polish, just a band, a room, and a growing audience that knew they were seeing something real.
