Slightly Stoopid Announce 'How I Spent My Summer Vacation 2019' Tour
By: Tori Hartshorn Feb. 26, 2019
Slightly Stoopid announce their annual summer amphitheater tour, with this years installment: "How I Spent My Summer Vacation 2019". This summer, Slightly Stoopid will bring along special guests Matisyahu, Tribal Seeds and HIRIE. 2019's North American route will take the band on 28 stops from California's Pacific Ocean across the Atlantic seaboard, with additional dates to be announced including stops in Europe.
Slightly Stoopid fan presale is underway and runs through Thursday 2/28, 10pm local time. All tickets purchased through the Slightly Stoopid fan presale are entered to win a backstage experience and meet & greet with the band.
As Slightly Stoopid's organic fanbase continues to grow exponentially, prolific studio releases and relentless live touring has fueled the band's passion for their craft, manifesting a unique and dedicated subculture. In an interview with Pollstar last year, Miles Doughty said that "the thrill of performance is what keeps the band on the road" and Billboard affirms that "Slightly Stoopid are showing no signs of slowing down".
Two decades into the process, Ocean Beach San Diego natives, Slightly Stoopid, have created a lifestyle movement of die-hard "Stoopidheads" and a catalogue of musical work that reflects their influences musically and socially.
"Once we found music as a form of expression, as an outlet, we did whatever it took to survive. We are who we are- a product of Southern California. And, we are where we are in life because of how passionate we are about the music."
- Kyle McDonald (bass, guitar, vocals - Slightly Stoopid)

About Slightly Stoopid:
The story of Slightly Stoopid, at its core, is one of brotherhood. It's the story of Miles Doughty and Kyle McDonald, two musicians determined to succeed on their own terms, creating a multi-genre fusion of rock, reggae and blues with hip-hop, funk, American folk, metal, and punk. It's the story of a duo that has not just survived, but thrived, as best buds- "brothers from other mothers"- true to their authenticity, through two decades of relentless touring, and evolving songwriting, repeatedly creating lasting artistic statements despite a music industry that too often prioritizes style over substance.
Slightly Stoopid is and continues to be a musical family that always welcomes guest musicians and the art of collaboration. Doughty and McDonald remain unwavering in their principles of independence, honoring their diversity of influences and mentors, and furthering their inherited legacy of the Southern California sound.
"Once we found music as a form of expression, as an outlet, we did whatever it took to survive," said McDonald in a 2018 interview. "We are who we are- a product of Southern California. And, we are where we are in life because of how passionate we are about the music."
