While it’s a rare commodity for a band to tour as consistently as Slightly Stoopid, the group’s diligent commitment to live music provides some insight into why it’s been a few years since the release of their last studio album. But on August 14, 2012, the Ocean Beach, California-based group—led by co-founders and multi-instrumentalists Miles Doughty and Kyle McDonald—will drop their latest studio effort, Top of the World. As heard throughout the disc, the layoff between albums has not affected the group’s penchant for cooking up the tasty fusion and massive groove that permeates Stoopid’s trademark sound.
Slightly Stoopid will open their year with a mid-January performance in Costa Rica. Headlining the bill for Jungle Jam 2014 festival, Slightly Stoopid featuring Don Carlos, will close Saturday night, following sets from Karl Denson, and G. Love. The weekend also includes performances from Dumpstaphunk, The Expendables,Zach Deputy, and many more.
The Ocean Beach crew seems to be breaking through the rest of the winter, hopefully to spend time in their studio working on new tunes. The crew picks back up mid-March with a scheduled run of shows for Spring Tour 2014. Kicking off March 12th at the Val Air Ballroom in Des Moines, Iowa, The band will tour through the Midwest into the Northeast. Supporting Slightly Stoopid on this run through America’s ‘rust belt’ will be LA’s Mariachi El Bronx.
Also announced in 2014 are two dates this coming April. Saturday April 12th, Slightly Stoopid will head down to Fort Lauderdale, Florida for the Tortuga Music Festival, playing a spot in a diverse line up that includes acts like Ziggy Marley,Moon Taxi and The Revivalist.
