Artist Biography For Slightly Stoopid

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 Their Loyal Fan Base And Unique Creative Metamorphosis Throughout Their Extensive Existence. Though It's Been A Couple Of Years Since The Release Of Their Last Studio Album Top Of The World August 14 2012 The Ocean Beach California-Based Group—led By Co-Founders And Multi-Instrumentalists Kyle McDonald And Miles Doughty—have Also Found The Same Passionate Dedication To Their Studio Craft Holing Up Between Tours In Their Own San Diego Recording Studio And Record Label Complex. The Balance Of A Prolific Touring Regimen Between Albums Have Helped To Refine The Tasty Fusion And Massive Groove That Permeates Stoopid’s Trademark Sound And Seven Album Catalogue As Well As Their Live Shows. "We're A Touring Act And We've Been On The Road Pretty Much Non-Stop Over The Last Decade " Explains Doughty Offering That The More Recent Creation Of The Band's Own Local Recording Studio And Rehearsal Clubhouse Within The Warehouse District Of Mission Valley Just Inland Of Ocean Beach Certainly Aided And Influenced Their Last Release Top Of The World And Has Inspired Their Latest Sessions Which The Band Anticipates Could Stretch Into A Few Different Recording Projects. "Over The Last 3 Years We Started Our Own Studio And Within The Last 9 Months Anticipating The Window For New Album Sessions The Band Has Invested Into Innovations And Equipment Upgrades For The Studio In A Quest To Capture And Progress Our Signature Sound Forward. Having Our Own Studio Really Enables Us To Make Records At Our Own Pace And To Make The Right Records Hopefully With A Grin At Various Stages Of Our Career ” Doughty Continues. “What's Nice About Having Our Own Environment To Record In And Analyze The Music Is It Really Lets You Keep An Organic Feel. For Us I Feel Like It's A Step Into The Next Level As Far As Understanding The Process Of Recording Understanding The Process Of Songwriting. We Took Everything That We've Learned Over The Years And Really Put It Into This Place And Into Our Music.” The Property Also Houses The Creative Loft Space That Has Become The Official Offices Of The Band’s Own Label Stoopid Records Which Issued The Band’s Second Album In 1999 Acoustic Roots And Has Continued To Be Their Preferred Method Of Distributing The Band’s Recorded Material. Another Key Ingredient To What Makes Slightly Stoopid Extraordinarily Special Is The Inclusion Of Several Musical Guests Both Live And In The Studio. "It Really Keeps That 'family Atmosphere' For Us ” Says Doughty. “I Think It Really Shows In The Music — We Live For The Spirit Of Collaboration And On Top Of The World We Had G. Love Angelo Moore From Fishbone Don Carlos Barrington Levy Ian Neville From Dumpstaphunk Tory Ruffin From Morris Day And The Time And Fishbone And Singer/songwriter Angela Hunte. Angelo Moore To Me Is One Of The Greatest Front-Men To Ever Step Foot On A Stage. As A Fan And Out Of Respect I Try To Do Something With Angelo Every Time We Have A Record Really. If You Listen To His Lyrics His Vocal Performance—I Don't Know Who Could Keep Up With Angelo On Stage. Don Carlos From Black Uhuru Is One Of The Legendary Reggae Singers Of All Time And We've Had The Pleasure Of Working With Him The Last Few Years. We've Been Friends With G. Love For Over 15 Years And We've Been Able To Work Together Quite A Few Different Times In The Studio. It Seems Like Second Nature. Whenever You're Recording With G. It's Almost Like You're Really Just Hanging Out With Your Bro And You Happen To Hit Record. We've Done So Many Shows Together And So Many Studio Sessions It Becomes Second Nature.“
