Slightly Stoopid bottled lightning across two nights at the House of Blues in San Diego. Recorded in November 2005 for the band’s first full-length concert DVD, the show catches the Ocean Beach natives unleashing their signature blend of reggae, punk rock, funk, and hip-hop for a packed hometown crowd. It arrived just after their acclaimed 2005 album ‘Closer to the Sun’ had raised their profile, and the performance lands as a raw time capsule of a band hitting its stride. The interplay between co-founders Miles Doughty and Kyle McDonald drives everything, their distinct vocals and intricate guitar work backed by a tight rhythm section and vibrant horns. It’s an irresistible document of the Southern California sound they helped pioneer.
