Slightly Stoopid 

Live reviews

• Slightly Stoopid

  I must admit: Slightly Stoopid isn't the best when performing in front of a live audience. Now I know some of you reading this may disagree, but my personal opinion is that they have a 'not-so-great' sound quality, as it is (at times) difficult to capture the groove, if you will, as well as the lyrics. Seems to me a loud noise is all I can hear in certain songs, situations, venues, etc etc... But hey, I fucking LOVE the band, don't get me wrong. They have some fantastic vibes flowing in their studio albums.

  Dirty Heads, on the other hand, put on a great show. Nothing to complain about there.

  And Stick Figure... Oh god, where to start...?

  Stick Figure has recently become one of my all-time favorite bands, right up there with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin.

  Scott Woodruff is an absolute master lyricist, fantasic musical genius, and just an amazing all around artist in the Reggae Dub world. This band has literally saved my life, preventing me from suicide. I saw them live in Magna, UT in 2014 and when they played Hawaii Song, it changed my whole mindset and perspective of life.

  Scott, and the rest of the band, if you read this, my heart goes out to you all. Such an inspirational band and life saver for me, and if I had one wish, it would be to spend a day, two days, a week, month, year, shiiiit, if I could I'd live the rest of my life with these guys. There's no better feeling I get than when I listen to Stick Figure and to be able to do the things they get to do on a daily basis, I'd trade anything for that. You guys are awesome. Thank you so much for the music and art you have created. You really have no idea how much I can relate to every lyric and every song ever written by Scott Woodruff and Stick Figure. Thank you again. I'm greatful to be living in the same era as you all do, and I wish you all the happiness and luck in the world, Stick Figure. I've fallen in love with the artistical music and vibes you all have created. Can't wait for more to come...

  PS-

  Scott, if you happen to read this, you are my hero. I'd love to jam out with you all at some point in my life. It would truly be an honor, and the greatest dream come to reality.

• Slightly Stoopid is a band known for their southern California sound. Though you don't need to be a surfer to enjoy their great live concerts. With songs ranging from ska, reggae, rock and even the surprising hip-hop inspired tunes it's no surprise the band have accumulated such a diverse audience.

  There is no shortage of variety at a Slightly Stoopid concert. Whether the song has clean guitars, or dirty punk rock distorted guitars. Even the occasional saxophone, bongos or keyboards. The vibe is always consistent. Amazingly the band's shows feel like a fun backyard party even when there are hundreds of die hard fans rocking out. Everyone in the crowd feel like friends rather than crazed fans. Perhaps it's because the band doesn't have the outrageous "Rock Star" look. They're just guys wearing shorts and t-shirts.Dancing along to their chill "Sublime-esq" music, or moshing to their early 90's inspired punk rock jams. The crowd at a Slightly Stoopied concert always seem to be having nothing short of an amazing time.

  So if you're sick of the cliche rock band and want to see something with a little bit more flavor check these guys out! Who knows? Maybe you'll end up finding yourself in the crowd dancing along with everyone else having the time of your life.

• Miles Doughty and Kyle McDonald remain at the core of Slightly Stoopid, shaping and evolving the band to greater and greater heights over the many years that they have been performing. The childhood friends are to thank for the strong solidarity the band members share and the musical talent that the band displays live. Both multi instrumentalists, they have kept Slightly Stoopid going strong for twenty years now, to great success. Despite the name, there is nothing to be ridiculed about this band. Their rock and roll swagger and genre blending genius has made them one of the biggest cult rock bands in America over the past decades and their fan base continues to expand today. The fans turned up in the plenty to watch Slightly Stoopid perform, waving their hands and whooping appreciatively. The band was great on stage, playing a range of instruments from guitars to bongos. Despite their Californian origins, the crowd contained a whole mix of people, only a few of which were surfer types, who had come to enjoy the rock, reggae and at times even hip hop elements to the band.

• Slightly Stoopid has now been performing and recording as a band for 20 years and although the band crosses various genres including rock, reggae, hip hop and blues, there is an undeniably Californian vibe to their show.

  You can almost smell the salt sea in the venue and the band appears with a small slice of Cali sunshine for the audience in the form of openers 'Till it Gets Wet' and 'Somebody'. As the crowd dances below the stage, the seven strong live band goes about making their undeniably difficult genre hopping sound. They never take themselves too seriously though and there is a huge emphasis on fun as frontman Miles Doughty encourages the band to really jump for early single '2 A.M'.

  One of their elusive releases, the rest of the setlist has been made up from a selection of their seven albums. The sounds appear to sit back to back together well and a blistering rendition of '5 Piece Fried Chicken Jam' followed by a cover of Charles Wright's 'Express Yourself' brings an incredibly enjoyable gig to a close.

• The concert was amazing, they sounded great. Put on an great show. Especially with that sunset and that rainbow as a backdrop, WOW! Third time seeing them and always worth it! Only down side the venue needs stricter controls on alcohol consumption. WAY too many stupid drunk people. Puking all over, stumbling all over everyone. Stumbling stupidly through the street, made the show not as enjoyable as it could have been.

• The boys put on an amazing show! They showed how thankful they are for their fans and even stopped the show to ensure a girl in the front that was passing out received help. They played a good mixture of old hits and new songs. I will definitely go see them again!

• The show was amazing! I've been to hundreds of concerts over the years, that one goes in my top five for sure. Got tickets thru songkick's link to e-tix. I chose the print option, not as cool as having a stub to keep, but hey it got me in the door!

• The show was fantastic! Lots of energy, great sound, compassion for the audience member who wasn't feeling well... Couldn't have asked for a better show. Didn't expect anything less. Slightly Stoopid never disappoints.
