Slightly Stoopid formed in 1995 in Ocean Beach, California by childhood friends Miles Doughty and Kyle McDonald. Soon after, Bradley Nowell (Sublime frontman) discovered them and signed them to his label, Skunk Records. The duo would eventually morph into a larger full-size band.

They have released ten albums to date: Slightly $toopid (1996 Skunk Records), The Longest Barrel Ride (1998 Skunk Records), Everything You Need (2003 Surfdog Records), Acoustic Roots: Live & Direct (2004 Cornerstone RAS Records), Closer To The Sun (2005 Reincarnate Music/IMusic), Winter Tour ’05-’06 Live CD/DVD (2006 Stoopid Records), Chronchitis (2007 Stoopid Records/Controlled Substance Sound Labs), Slightly Not Stoned Enough To Eat Breakfast Yet Stoopid (2008 Stoopid Records), Top Of The World (2012 Stoopid Records) and Slightly Stoopid & Friends: Live at Roberto’s TRI Studios (2013 Stoopid Records).

The group is noted for their eclectic mix of reggae, blues, rock, hip-hop, metal, and funk in their music. They cite Sublime, Operation Ivy, Rancid, Streetwise, Yellowman, Don Carlos, Buju Banton, NWA, Wu-Tang Clan and Gang Starr as influences.

Slightly Stoopid is a touring act and have been on the road pretty much non-stop over the past decade. During their relentless touring schedule, they have toured with, or shared the stage with, such acts as the Dave Matthews Band, Damian Marley, Sublime, the Roots, Snoop Dog, The Expendables, G. Love, Ozomatli, Pennywise, Toots and the Maytals, Pepper, Cypress Hill, 311, Stephen Marley, The Aggrolites, and Sly & Robbie.

The band is currently out on their 2014 Spring Tour which made a stop at Saint Andrew’s Hall in Detroit, Michigan. Our photographer, Josh Kahl, was on hand to catch their act. Here are the images from that night.

About The Author

Erik's interest in music began at an early age. In high school, he was the co-host of the underground metal show the Social Mutilation Hour, on 89.5 WAHS, under the name of Neurotik Erik. During this period of his life, he independently promoted shows under the name of Ding Dong Ditch Productions. Erik would rent out local VFW Halls, use space at Oakland Community College Auburn Hills Campus, or simply throw basement parties around the Detroit area. While at college at Ferris State University, he became head of the student run organization, Entertainment Unlimited, and continued to promote shows, but on a larger scale. He also helped start an underground magazine, 'Outpunk', where he interviewed bands and wrote music reviews. Additionally, Erik joined the staff at the Ferris State University Torch and wrote on a larger scale.
