LOS ANGELES (Top 40 Charts/ Jägermeister
Music Tour Official Website) - Get ready to bring the party! This year's Jägermeister
Music Tour is all about the music and the vibes.
Slightly Stoopid and Pepper, two of the most innovative dub-rock bands out there, are set to headline. The Tour takes off October 19th in Anaheim.
Southern California's Slightly Stoopid fuses acoustic rock and blues with reggae, hip-hop, dub, metal, funk, and punk to create a signature sound. Ranked by Pollstar as one of the Top 50 Touring Bands this year, Slightly Stoopid packs houses across the world with their surf-inspired jams. Veteran music festival performers, the band has played with Dave Matthews Band, Sublime, The Roots, G. Love and Special Sauce, Blink 182, and Toots and the Maytals. One of the most successful independent bands to come around in the last few years, Slightly Stoopid has sold over 200,000 units on their own label, STOOPID RECORDS.
Hailing from Kona, Hawaii, Pepper is a dub/ rock power trio with reggae-rock roots. Mixing influences like Nirvana and Black Sabbath with the likes of Bad Brains and Sublime, Pepper creates some of the best "kick back, sunny side, back side, grinding mellow guitar picking, cool wave riding sounds" around. The Jägermeister Music Tour coincides with the October 3rd release of their latest album, No Shame, the band's major label debut on Lava/Atlantic Records.
"Having Slightly Stoopid and Pepper together on this Tour is a major deal for us. both bands have a long history of working with Jägermeister," says Rick Zeiler, Director of Marketing and Brand Development for Sidney Frank Importing Co., Inc., the importers of Jägermeister. "Stylistically, it's definitely different than Tours we've done in the past. Both these bands have a unique vibe all their own and that goes well with Jägermeister. Their music lends itself to a party atmosphere and Jägermeister is all about a good party!"
This isn't the first time the bands will be touring together. Yesod Williams, the drummer of Pepper says, "Reunited and it feels so good! It's like touring with your family again with us and Stoopid out together for the first time in three years. The only difference is we are fueled on Jägermeister this time!"
"We are looking forward to touring with Pepper again," says Miles Doughty, one of Slightly Stoopid's frontmen. "It is usually one big party when the two bands get together, and it is definitely the best tour for fans. The added element of Jägermeister is sure to make for more madness this time around."
Each show will be supported by local Jägermeister bands. Jägermeister now has an arsenal of over 200 sponsored bands from coast to coast. Now in its fifth year, the Jägermeister Music Tour is bigger than ever, becoming THE rock show to see. Produced by Live Nation, past Tours have brought Staind, Disturbed, Slayer, Slipknot, Hatebreed, Saliva, hed P.E., Drowning Pool, and Ill Niño to the masses, and now the Tour continues its charge.
For about 30 bucks, fans will get the chance to see some of the biggest acts in reggae/ rock and receive some of the sweetest swag around, including great Jägermeister prizes and giveaways like the Jägermeister Compilation CDs with live and unreleased tracks from Jägermeister bands as well as plenty of Jägermeister shirts, hats, and more.
