Quantcast

With more than a decade of making music together, the members of Slightly Stoopid have perfected one of the rarestand most valuable skills a band can develop: the art of the stealth groove, that knack for quietly almost innocently sliding into a song and utterly lassoing anyone within earshot by mid-song. That's where the band has come to reside, musically: deep in the pocket, that ever-elusive, funky trench where a dband can entrance an audience, hypnotize it and hold on to it until the set or CD is finished.

That trip began in 1995, when Doughty and McDonald (childhood friends who grew up in Ocean Beach, CA) caught the ear of late, beloved Sublime frontman Bradley Nowell, who signed them to his Skunk Records label, which issued the band's first two discs: 1996's punk-tinged Slightly Stoopid (featuring a guest vocal by Nowell himself) and 1998's surf-inspired The Longest Barrel Ride .

While growing its fanbase beyond its native Southern California , Slightly Stoopid in 2001 self-released Acoustic Roots: Live and Direct . The 40-minute acoustic set, captured at San Diego 's Rock 105.3 radio station, was a precursor to 2003's Everything You Need (Surfdog), a musical departure for the band that sold more than 100,000 copies. The band's mix of rock, reggae, funk and blues coalesced two years later on Closer to the Sun (Reincarnate/Caliplates). With songs such as Bandelero, Somebody,and This Joint and a collaboration with the great dancehall reggae legend Barrington Levy (See No Other Way) the disc quickly became a fan favorite. Helmed by Miguel, it also featured contributions from reggae producer Scientist, an understudy of the iconic Jamaican boardsman King Tubby.)

In 2006 the band treated fans to an electric live album ( Winter Tour '05-'06 ) and their first DVD, Live In San Diego , a hometown bash featuring some 20 songs. For anyone who hadn't yet seen the band live, it was/is a slice of Stoopidhead love, and something that the band has become pros at: Each year, Slightly Stoopid plays some 150 gigs, their headlining spots spreading to two-plus hours of improvised jamming. Says McDonald: It's all about the grass roots style: You've got to tough it out, got to get your hands dirty touring and making music.

Along the way, the band has taken its live show to as far-away shores as Australia, Japan, Guam, Amsterdam, Portugal and Denmark, the U.K., Germany, Holland and the Dominican Republic, and supported the likes of the Dave Matthews Band, Damian Jr. Gong Marley and the Marley Brothers, Sublime, The Roots, G. Love, Toots and the Maytals and Pennywise.

The band has evolved into one of America 's most successful independent touring bands. In 2006, touring industry trade magazine Pollstar ranked the band as one of the Top 50 draws in the States. It's a distinction hard-earned over the past decade, as the band has honed its breezy blend of everything from the Grateful Dead and Dire Straits to Joe Higgs and Delroy Wilson. And it's been one not only enjoyed by Stoopidheads, but also Hollywood : The band's music has been featured in such TV shows as The OC and North Shore and in such movies as Step Into Liquid and Norbit and She's the Man.


Says Doughty: We're really a band that's just about having a good time, making music that we love and just having fun. For us, positivity goes a long way.
