About the Band...
Illustrating the perfect underground success story, Slightly Stoopid's dual front-men Miles Doughty
(Guitar, Bass, Vocals) and Kyle McDonald (Guitar, Bass, Vocals), created their own label, Stoopid
Records, in the early 2000’s to avoid signing a record deal and keep their DIY work ethic and freedom.
West coast DUB/Rock pioneers later added musicians Ryan ‘RyMo’ Moran (Drums) and Oguer 'OG'
Ocon (Congas, Percussion, Harp, Vocals) from the B Side Players, as well as C-Money (Trumpet,
Keyboard) and Dela (Saxophone) from John Browns Body; solidifying their on stage line up. Slightly
Stoopid has built a large n’ loyal fan base, and has soared to one of the most successful independent artists
of this decade. The buzz surrounding the group continues to increase with each successive release; their
album catalog sales have topped the 700,000 mark and the group continues to fill the most prestigious
concert venues around the world.
The Slightly Stoopid story can be traced to Ocean Beach, California, when childhood chums Miles and
Kyle formed the group in 1995, mixing reggae and punk sounds into one smooth stylistic cocktail. Soon
after, late/great Sublime frontman Brad Nowell caught wind of the group, and signed them to his Skunk
Records label – while the band members were still in high school. A pair of releases soon followed for
Skunk - 1996's punk-tinged SLIGHTLY STOOPID (featuring a guest appearance by Nowell on the song
“Prophet” – later covered by Sublime and released on their box set, EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN)
and 1998's surf-inspired cult classic THE LONGEST BARREL RIDE.
