1 Sept 2009 - Following a six year hiatus, Cypress Hill's music and marijuana-culture festival, Smokeout, is making a big return with a newly reformed Sublime as its very special guests, according to the event website.

Sublime ceased to exist 13 years ago after lead singer Bradley Nowell died of a drug overdose. The band's music continued to grow in popularity, but surviving members Bud Gaugh and Eric Wilson never indicated a desire to replace Nowell. Earlier this year, however, Gaugh and Wilson--who had gone on to form the Long Beach Dub All Stars--played a gig with Northern California-based singer Rome and later reportedly referred to the show as a Sublime reunion.
Now, Gaugh, Wilson and Rome will officially perform as a reformed Sublime as part of the Smokeout Festival to be held Oct. 23-24 at the San Manuel Amphitheater in San Bernardino, CA.

October 12, 1993 - Tales of Pot Smoke and Gun Smoke 
 

The Los Angeles rap group Cypress Hill proudly unveiled a prop during its set on Wednesday night at Roseland. A pair of fingers, thick as tree trunks, held a glowing, smoking, four-foot joint; hanging above, on a wall, was an enlarged marijuana leaf. With songs like "I Wanna Get High" (including the line, "Tell Bill Clinton to go inhale") and "Hits From the Bong," Cypress Hill has made itself a virtual spokesgroup for the pleasures of marijuana. Before the rappers performed, a representative of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws addressed the audience.
