880 South Avalon Nightclub 777 Lawrence Expwy, Santa Clara 408.241.0777 Fri - 7:30pm; $10
Maybe Sublime started the whole white-reggae thing back in the early '90s (or at least took it to the mainstream), but even Bradley Nowell and his Long Beach posse couldn't have guessed where it'd be almost 20 years later. With bands like Pepper and Slightly Stoopid scoring commercial success, the road is paved for more funky rasta-rock to hit the big time. And who's next in line? Our vote is 880 South, the San Jose quartet that blends reggae, soul and rock & roll into an alluring fusion of feel-good sound and sun-bleached melody. Opening for 880 South is another Bay Area reggae-funk outfit with plenty of potential, The Whiskey Avengers. (GW)
