311 & Slighty Stoopid Preview

The Unity Tour has been going strong since July 4, 2012 and will be hitting 38 cities; the tour is finally making its way to Los Angeles, CA.
With a heat wave going through Los Angeles, CA, what would be better way of spending this Saturday than jamming out with the The Unity Tour featuring 311 and Slightly Stoopid and special guests Soja.

311 was formed in 1988 by vocalist/guitarist Nick Hexum, lead guitarist Jim Watson (who would later be replaced by Tim Mahoney), bassist Aaron “P-Nut” Wills and drummer Chad Sexton and as of 2011, has sold over 8.5 million records! 311 are generally known as an alternative rock band, but they are also classified as rap rock, rap metal, funk rock, funk metal, reggae and jazz fusion.

Slightly Stoopid formed in 1995 and is noted for their eclectic mix of punk rock, ska and reggae in their works. When the group first started out, they drew numerous influences from the likes of punk rock groups such as Sublime, Operation Ivy, Rancid, and Streetwise.
