**Long Beach Shortbus** was an American [reggae](/source/Reggae)-influenced [punk](/source/Punk_rock) band from [Long Beach, California](/source/Long_Beach%2C_California). The band consisted of four regular members: [RAS-1](/source/RAS-1) (lead vocals and guitar), Trey Pangborn (guitar), [Eric Wilson](/source/Eric_Wilson_(bassist)) (bass guitar), and Damion Ramirez (drums). Long Beach Shortbus originated as a side project of RAS-1 and Eric Wilson, eventually taking shape after the [Long Beach Dub Allstars](/source/Long_Beach_Dub_Allstars) disbanded in 2002.[1]

Their first CD was a self-titled [extended play](/source/Extended_play) (EP) and featured their hit "California Grace." Their second CD was entitled *Flying Ship of Fantasy*, featuring tracks from their first album.[1] "California Grace" is also available on the soundtrack to the MTV reality series *[Laguna Beach](/source/Laguna_Beach%3A_The_Real_Orange_County)*. On October 7, 2007, it was announced that the band would be parting ways. Their final show took place at the Haunted Ball and Chain festival in [San Diego, California](/source/San_Diego%2C_California), on November 2 and 3. Eric Wilson was later in [Sublime with Rome](/source/Sublime_with_Rome), an incarnation of Sublime which chiefly performed songs by that band, and also featured [Rome Ramirez](/source/Rome_Ramirez) filling in for their late singer/guitarist [Bradley Nowell](/source/Bradley_Nowell).
