Slightly Stoopid is an American rock band based in the Ocean Beach neighborhood of San Diego, California, who describe their music as "a fusion of folk, rock, reggae and blues with hip-hop, funk, metal and punk." As a band, they have released 13 albums (four live). The band was originally signed by Bradley Nowell from the band Sublime to his label Skunk Records while still in high school.

History

Founding, early releases (1994–2007)

In 1994, Slightly Stoopid was formed in Ocean Beach, California by Miles Doughty and Kyle McDonald, both childhood friends, as well as high school friend and drummer Adam Bausch. Sublime front man Bradley Nowell was staying with Doughty’s nurse mother and doctor boyfriend in their drug rehabilitation program when he stumbled across the band. After waking up one morning, he overheard the band practicing in the garage and was impressed, asking them to perform in Long Beach, California, at the Foot Hill Tavern. [2] Nowell shortly after signed them to his label Skunk Records while the members were still attending high school. [3] In 1996 the band released their first studio album, the punk-tinged Slightly $toopid [4] (featuring a guest appearance by Nowell on the song "Prophet" – later covered by Sublime and released on their box set, Everything Under the Sun ) and 1998's surf-inspired The Longest Barrel Ride . [5] In the early days of the band, Adam's brother Eric Bausch played keys.

The group self-released 2001's Acoustic Roots: Live & Direct (a 40-minute acoustic set, captured live at San Diego's rock 105.3 radio station on the Latitude 32 show) – the first for their own label, Stoopid Records, [4] before issuing 2003's Everything You Need on Surfdog Records (a musical departure for the band, [4] that sold more than 185,000 copies).

Adam Bausch left the band in 2000, two years after recording and releasing The Longest Barrel Ride. Slightly Stoopid had four drummers between Adam Bausch and their current drummer, Ryan 'RyMo' Moran. These drummers include: Kelly Vargas (of Sublime / Dissension), Dan 'Dano' Lancelot (of Gloritone / Dano's Island Sounds), Damion Ramirez (of Capitol Eye / Long Beach Shortbus), and Paul Vrieling (who is pictured in the background on the cover of the Everything You Need album). Percussionist Oguer 'OG' Ocon (congas, percussion, harp, vocals) joined the band in 2002.

After solidifying a new line-up with the removal of Bausch, due to personal differences, with the additions of Ryan 'RyMo' Moran (drums) from b-Side Players, the band began to mix even more different musical styles on 2005's Closer to the Sun . The album featured collaborations with well-known reggae names such as Barrington Levy and Scientist. Closer to the Sun impressively debuted in the Billboard Top 200 and sold nearly 25,000 copies in its first two months of release. [6]

A year later, Slightly Stoopid issued their first-ever electric live album, Winter Tour '05-'06 Live CD/DVD , as well as their first-ever DVD, Live in San Diego, while 2007 saw the release of the group's fifth studio effort, Chronchitis , which debuted at #55 on the Billboard 200, and #2 on the Independent Albums charts. In 2006, the band added horn players Christofer "C-Money" Welter & Daniel "DeLa" Delacruz to their line-up. C-Money doubled as a keys player.

Live touring

The group has toured frequently since its inception, including appearances at arts festivals such as Coachella, Harmony, Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, and New Orleans Jazz Fest. Additionally, the group has played sold-out shows in Australia, Japan, Guam, Portugal, Denmark, the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, and the Dominican Republic. "Without [the fans], we'd just be playing at the bar", admits Kyle. "They make it worth our while – when we go out and people are having that good of a time, the energy goes back and forth. Just a good time – we rely on each other's energy."

Slightly Stoopid has played with the Dave Matthews Band, Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley (and the Marley Brothers), Sublime, the Roots, The Expendables, Snoop Dogg, G. Love & Special Sauce, Ozomatli, Toots and the Maytals, Helva, and Pennywise, among others, as well as their first-ever sole headlining tour of amphitheaters in 2008, joined by their friends Pepper and Sly & Robbie featuring Cherine Anderson.

The band teamed up with Snoop Dogg in 2009 for the co-headlining "Blazed & Confused Tour" across North America. [7]

Stoopid Records, live albums (2008–2011)

In 2008, the band issued their first-ever 'odds and ends' collection, Slightly Not Stoned Enough to Eat Breakfast Yet Stoopid – the group's newest release for their growing label, Stoopid Records (which also featured releases by other groups, including the label's first signed act, The Expendables from Santa Cruz, California). Included on Slightly Not Stoned Enough to Eat Breakfast Yet Stoopid are outtakes from both the Closer to the Sun (including tracks that were previously issued as a limited edition bonus CD) and Chronchitis sessions, as well as a bevy of new material recorded at the famed Circle House Studios in Miami, Florida, and such cover tunes as UB40's "I Would Do For You" and the traditional "I Know You Rider" (most notably covered by The Grateful Dead). Also making their first appearance on a Slightly Stoopid studio album are newly recorded renditions of the long-time live standards "False Rhythms" and "Sinsemilla".

On September 13, 2011, the band was invited by the Grateful Dead's Bob Weir to his state-of-the-art TRI Studios for a live webcast and in-studio performance. Utilizing the technology of the studio's Constellation sound system, Slightly Stoopid had the privilege of inviting some of their closest friends and family members down to record Live at Roberto's TRI Studios, performing alongside Weir as well as Karl Denson, Don Carlos, Ivan Neville, Ian Neville, and host Tommy Chong. [8] In 2011, Paul Wolstencroft joined the band on keyboard and organs.

Top of the World and Meanwhile...Back At The Lab (2012–Present)

The band's seventh studio album, Top of the World , was released on August 14, 2012. [9] The seven-piece band continues to explore a variety of styles on Top of the World , with help from some of their biggest influences and heroes including: reggae legends Barrington Levy and Don Carlos of Black Uhuru; "unofficial 8th member" Karl Denson of Greyboy Allstars; longtime band friend and touring partner G. Love; Fishbone frontman Angelo Moore; ex-Jurassic 5 emcee extraordinaire Chali 2na; Dumpstaphunk's Ian Neville; and hit-making singer/songwriter Angela Hunte. The album entered the Billboard 200 at a career high #13, as well as on Billboard 's Independent Albums chart at #3. Top of the World also debuted on Billboard 's Rock Albums and Alternative Albums charts with a final position of #4.

Following the album release, the band performed on the "Red Bull Sound Space at KROQ" [10] [11] on August 23, followed by appearances on tastemaker indie music website Daytrotter and SiriusXM. The group also appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on September 12 to play their current single, "Top of the World." [12]

At the end of 2013, C-Money parted ways with the band and was replaced by Andy Geib on trombone & trumpet.

Slightly Stoopid continued to tour extensively, playing 38 dates in 2014 in cities all across the US. [13] Their summer 2014 tour featured G. Love and also Bob Marley's son, Stephen Marley.

On April 20, 2015, Slightly Stoopid announced via their social media pages and website that they intended to release a new album, entitled Meanwhile...Back At The Lab. The album was released on June 30, 2015. The album's track list was subsequently published on iTunes. [14]

The band's eighth album, Everyday Life, Everyday People, released on July 13, 2018. It topped the Billboard Reggae Albums chart. [15] The album features special guests, Italian reggae artist, Alborosie, UB40's Ali Campbell, Chali 2na, Don Carlos (on two tracks), G.Love, and Yellowman.

Musical influences

The group is noted for their eclectic mix of rock, reggae, blues, hip-hop, metal and funk in their works. When the group first started out, they drew numerous influences from the likes of punk rock groups such as Sublime, Operation Ivy, and Rancid. Slightly Stoopid's self-titled album was released months after Brad Nowell's death in 1996 under Skunk Records. Their reggae influences stem from artists such as Yellowman, Don Carlos and Buju Banton. [16]

The band has also experimented with hip-hop on their more recent albums.[ citation needed ] The song "The Otherside" off the album Chronchitis features the late rapper Guru. They note hip hop influences NWA and Eazy-E, Wu-Tang Clan, and Gang Starr.[ citation needed ] Miles Doughty's vocal style in particular references reggae legends Eek a Mouse, Pinchers, and Tenor Saw quite often.[ citation needed ]
