Line up:Slightly Stoopid, The Expendables, Hor!zen
Location: Hard Rock Live, Orlando, FL
Slightly Stoopid’s New Years Eve Party was a memorable night. There is no better way to ring in the new year than to watch three truly talented bands “kill it” at an amazing venue for an appreciative audience. The all ages crowd was primed and ready to go celebrate, way before the doors even opened. At 7:30pm, the line went down the stairs of Hard Rock and followed along the lake for a block or so out the door. When the doors finally opened at 8:00pm the sea of Stoopid Heads, flooded into the venue.Finally at 8:30pm out came Hor!zen, to start off new years eve right. The Orlando native, self proclaimed “Dirty South Dub Rockers” started strong. Hor!zen opened with their brand new single
“2000 Miles,” a well written tribute to Sublime’s Bradley Nowell. The song cleverly uses various Sublime song titles as lyrics. The crowd was instantly hooked with the catchy references and shout outs to Slightly Stoopid and the Dirty Heads. As a special treat for their hometown crowd, Hor!zen had a couple special guests. Most notably was former Supervillains member Jonathan Cestero, aka Smally, accompanying them on saxophone the entire set. Also on the stage was Angela Hunte. She stakes her claim as the original co-writer of Jay-Z’s “Empire State of Mind.” Angela beautifully sang back-up, adding more emotion , giving the band a very cool dissonance. In their 30 minutes of stage time Hor!zen played eight songs, seven of those were new! Hor!zen was a lot of fun to watch, and the perfect band to open for The Expendables and Slightly Stoopid.
After a very short break, the DJ announced Santa Cruz, California’s The Expendables. The Expendables rock out with an awesome fusion of reggae, rock, punk rock, and metal. It’s amazing how hard they shred while being so laid back on stage as they make it look easy and fun. It is obvious that these qualities positively affect the energy of the crowd. During their one hour set The Expendables played a solid 16 song set. A good mix of old and new songs. Front man Geoff Weers walked out, struck the first chord of “Let Loose” and the reggae rolled right on. Towards the end of the song when the song intensifies Geoff shouted “Let’s get f-in wild.” After the intro, the beginning of “Ganja Smuggling” echoed through the venue. Then it went right into “Positive Mind,” “Tight Squeeze,” and “Burning Up” . It was really interesting how this band “conducts” the audience. It is similar to a ride. They bring the audience up and down. After playing six hits The Expendables brought the most out of the crowd with “War Cry.”
There were several moments of interest during their set. After a killer version of “Sacrifice” that made the crowd boil over, they played “Trying to Focus” and when right into “Get What Need” with Kyle from Slightly Stoopid. Then The Expendables closed the set with a “Bowl For Two” sing-a-long. The band did not return for an encore but it only added to the suspense for the arrival of the new years eve headliners. After their breakdown, the cloth over Rymo’s drum set was removed and the stoopidness was about to begin.Slightly Stoopid is one of the most unique live touring bands around. To be able to, on any given night, go and hear their crazy collage of music is almost magical. The sound that Slightly Stoopid creates together is unreal. Slightly Stoopid’s fusion of reggae, rock, blues, jazz, and punk, backed by the Ocean Beach sound is what makes them one of the most successful touring bands. No one can imitate their sound, it’s one of a kind and it’s another contributor as to why Slightly Stoopid has the fan following it does. These fans were out tonight and ready for a special Stoopid New Year party!
Slightly Stoopid did not disappoint. They played an approximate 30+ songs from 11:00pm to 1:00am. The set list was well planned with a excellent mix of songs from all parts of their extensive discography. From old songs to newer songs, dubs, to a few covers, they played it all. They opened with a brand new unnamed dub intro that flowed into “The Fruits” which moved directly to “Till It Gets Wet.” Slightly Stoopid had the crowd singing, swaying, and dancing, but not moshing. It was a real mellow crowd. People just enjoying the tunes and celebrating the New Year in Stoopid fashion.
Finally it was close to midnight. Stoopid played “Mr. Music” and “Collie Man.” It was looking as if it was close to a midnight break time, until Slightly Stoopid brought 2012 in with their old school classic “Operation.” Kyle and Miles jammed out front while Rymo was hitting heavy up on his drum set. The original three piece destroyed as 2011 ended and 2012 rolled in. The skull dropped, the balloons fell, and then Dela popped the champagne. There could not have been a better way to celebrate the new year as Stoopid took a well deserved short break, shook hands, hugged, and passed the champagne and “party favors” around.
Once again they opened their second set with another new sounding dub, ending the intro with “Zeplike.” The highlights of the second set included “Fat Sliffs,” ” Territorial Pissings” cover, “Sensimilla” and the “Leaving on a Jet Plane” ending. Slightly Stoopid took a quick break and came right back on for the encore set. Kyle started jamming while O.G. beat boxed a really cool version of “Couldn’t Get High.” The band played a few more tunes and ended with “Open Road” and a request of “No Cocaine,” featuring The Expendables. Miles kept the music going spitting for a minute at the end before finally ending their amazing set. They played for what seemed liked forever, and the crowd loved every minute of it. This show was truly something special!

Greetings Stoopidheads!
We wanted to take this time to cordially invite you to a very exciting event - our live real-time web performance broadcast from within the walls of Grateful Dead/Furthur guitarist and founder Bob Weir's TRI Studios on Sept 13, 2011.
The in-studio performance will feature a live fan to band Q&A session between 2 sets of music, something we've never done before and we are excited to utilize this new technology in doing so. All of this can be dialed in for optimum sound and video straight from your computer to your stereo and HD television for maximum viewing pleasure! Live Twitter and Facebook feeds will accompany the broadcast so you all can tune in, ask us questions and see what everyone is saying in real time!
We have also aligned with the following charities, and will donate all net proceeds to the following organizations:
Save The Children - http://www.savethechildren.org
Saves lives with food, medical care, and education
World Food Programme - http://www.wfp.org
World's largest humanitarian organization fighting hunger
Bob Weir's TRI Studio is equipped with the latest webcast technology and Meyer Sound System, and was built for the purpose of real time webcasts of intimate studio performances and fan forums as a new model being tested in creative circles within the rock n' roll pantheon, and we are very excited to be one of the first bands to do something like this...live from the studio.
We encourage you to turn on, tune in, and experience this! Please invite your friends over, have a beer, a smoke, kick back and participate in this experiment we are stoked to provide our amazing fans with.
The broadcast fee is only $10 and all net profits will be split amongst the charities. From a pricing standpoint, please realize, we have aimed to keep this as inexpensive as possible and to still try and raise money and awareness for these charitable groups previously referenced. We are shooting to get a minimum of 5,000 viewers to start to generate money for the charities. The technology to deliver something of this nature does have costs associated with it, and we say this so that our fans recognize the event is not a profit driven scheme to make money, but for Slightly Stoopid and its viral fanbase to bring music, technology, creativity, and goodwill to those less fortunate than us!
Help us make a difference.....we are more than "grateful" to be able to do this for a living and will continuously strive to provide the most cutting edge musical experiences for our fans to enjoy at the same time while helping others......
We are excited to have sitting in with us on this special event none other than Karl Denson (Greyboy Allstars/Tiny Universe), Don Carlos (Black Uhuru), Ian Neville (Dumpstaphunk/Funky Meters), and Bob Weir (Grateful Dead/Furthur) and to broadcast it live to Stoopidheads around the world.

Slightly Stoopid
Tell us about your first concert experience:
miles: the first concert i ever went to was Stevie Wonder. My Mom and her friend got us backstage somehow to meet Stevie and the boys. i was just a kid and Stevie seemed larger than life to me.......to this day, one of the best concerts i have ever seen.If you couldn’t be a musician, what would you be doing instead?
miles: honestly i have been a musician for so long, and we have been a band since we were in high school, i have a really hard time knowing or even imagining what i might be doing if it was not writing and performing. if i had to guess though i probably would still be involved in the music business. if it wasn’t writing or performing i would still be drawn to working with musicians. as a kid, my father really instilled in me a sense of pride in what you do. so, regardless of music business or bartending or digging ditches, whatever my job is, i want to be proud of the job i have done and will do that job 110%.If you could collaborate with one artist, living or dead, who would it be and why?
miles - well....my first instinct is to say Jimi Hendrix. his buttery fingers and soul this world has never seen the like of. however....i would really love to jam with Motley Crue...they are hands down the greatest rock / hair metal bands of all time.If you became President, what is the first action you would take?
miles: i would walk in the day i got inaugurated and fire everyone. the "ruling class" in this country is so far removed from what real life is like that it is a joke to think they can try and tell any of us anything about the way life is or should be. this country should take care of their own. period point blank. so once everyone was fired and we had real people running the country my first course of action would be to give every American access to health care and a college education regardless of any qualification other than being American.What social cause is closest to your heart?
miles: being a father of 2 daughters, education for our children is something i hold very close to my heart. and when i look at the direction of public and private education in this country i have some concerns to say the least.What does the right to vote mean to you?
miles: -...that is a difficult question for me..i hold the right to vote and the privilege to participate in our democracy extremely close to my heart. i recognize the sacrifice that was made for us to live in the best country in the world with the most open and free democratic society humankind has ever known. That being said, i think the actual voting process needs some help...What bands or artists did you listen to when you were in high school? And which bands or artists influenced your style the most?
miles: so many different bands...from Bob Marley to Sublime to Zeppelin to Motley Crue....i could go on for days. we are influenced by so many different styles its hard to pinpoint any specific bands or genres that specifically are the inspiration for slightly stoopid. we like to think of ourselves as a melting pot of madness.What activity or group were you involved with in high school that might surprise people today?
miles: i was on our high school wrestling team. i actually wrestled for quite a few years before high school and my dad was our wrestling coach all through high school as well. now, on our off time, i am the wrestling coach at the high school i went to along with one of my best friends. so its kind of come full circle.What's the biggest obstacle that you had to overcome in high school?
miles: maintaining my grades while trying to juggle music and wrestling.Do you do any volunteer or community work when you're not on tour?
miles: yes, i coach local kids in my community on our time off.What change would you like to see in our society in the next year?
miles: - we need a little more compassion for human beings everywhere. seems as if that's always the thing our society leaves to the wayside. maybe some more compassion for those that are less fortunate, maybe some reflection on how we are all here on this rock looking for the same thing so we should all just chill out a little and stop hurting each other. That’s a tall order for one year though...
