- About:
Slightly Stoopid is a band based in Ocean Beach, California 10 miles from downtown San Diego, who describe their music as “a fusion of acoustic rock and blues with reggae, hip-hop, and punk”. As a band, they have released eight albums (2 live) with their sixth studio album, entitled “Slightly Not Stoned Enough to Eat Breakfast Yet Stoopid”, released on July 23, 2008. Back In 1995, while still in high school, Miles and Kyle caught the ear of Sublime vocalist Bradley Nowell, who then signed them to his own Skunk Records label. Staying true to the D.I.Y ethic of punk rock, the band released its first two albums independently on Skunk. With minimal distribution (primarily in Southern California), the Skunk label released the punk-tinged debut Slightly Stoopid (1996), and the heavier-produced reggae leanings of the band’s surf inspired Longest Barrel Ride (1998). After a couple of years of hard core gigging, and between recording a legitimate new studio album, Slightly Stoopid delivered a live CD from an hour long live acoustic set from San Diego’s Rock 105 which helped them kick off their own Stoopid Records imprint. Titled Acoustic Roots: Live and Direct, it featured both players on acoustic guitars and vocals, and was recorded live, one take with no overdubs.
- Influences: Bob Marley, Led Zeppelin, Dr. Dre, Sublime, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Police, Miles Davis, all good music ranging from acoustic, rock, reggae, blues, roots, hip hop, metal, dub, and punk.
