Slightly Stoopid will perform at BankNH Pavilion in Gilford on Thursday, June 19, at 6 p.m. When guitarists/singers Miles Doughty and Kyle McDonald started Slightly Stoopid in 1994, they were out front of a second generation of bands that wanted to build on the reggae-rock sound that was starting to take hold thanks to the success of groups like Sublime, 311 and to a lesser extent, No Doubt.
