Concert Review: Slightly Stoopid @ Open Air Theater, SDSU, 9.6.08

While Slightly Stoopid is not a band most readers care about, hopefully this post helps widen the scope of band genres that get exposure on this site. Remember, the band's from Ocean Beach, so supporting local music reaches all levels of successful bands.

Slightly Stoopid played at the SDSU Open Air Theater last saturday night. Pepper opened with a fun set that had a good level of energy for 8pm. The headliner of the night, Slightly Stoopid took the stage around 9pm and the nearly sold out OAT turned into a great sounding funky party. Sure, there were plenty of bleached blonde SDSU girls, weed smoke as thick as a fog, and a bass-line that vibrated your insides. But people were just having a great time. The horns sounded perfect and they really bring a sound to SS music that other bands are lacking. The setlist had all the old hits as well as some songs off of their new album. Plus they win the award for the most innovative photoshopping of the Chargers' logo.

I saw Slightly Stoopid this summer on their Tailgate Tour and they killed it!!
O and I just downloaded "2am" on iTunes and got a free rare version of "Anywhere I Go" and it sounds sick!
