Slightly Stoopid fine-tunes fall/winter trek

Genre-bending reggae punks Slightly Stoopid have unveiled additional dates for their late-year club tour as they continue to support a recent outtakes-and-rarities set.

The Southern California group, which continues the outing Oct. 29 in Washington, DC, will receive opening support for its Dec. 6 show in Los Angeles from punk legends Bad Brains, "one of the bands that we grew up admiring and listening to the most," according to a press statement.

The tour also includes a run of November shows, highlighted by back-to-back Nov. 21-22 appearances in Santa Cruz, CA. Details are included below.

"Slightly Not Stoned Enough To Eat Breakfast Yet Stoopid," the group's ninth release, all for the Skunk Records label, contains seven new songs, "as well as other outtakes, rarities, and brand new studio joints," according to the band's website.

"It's a mixture of everything," guitarist Miles Doughty said in a July interview with LiveDaily. "It has some previously recorded tracks that we did from our last couple studio sessions and some new jams that we recorded down in Miami. It's like the staple of Slightly Stoopid: it has a little bit of every style of music that we do from the reggae, to the hip-hop, the blues music, punk rock, metal. It's like every sound of Stoopid in one."

"I think just as you get older, as a musician, you broaden your horizons with a little bit of everything," Doughty added. "It went from being the heavier stuff to more jammin' music, to the reggae and blues to the hip-hop stuff."
