Dirty Heads and Slightly Stoopid at Jacobs Pavilion

If you haven't known Dirty Heads but you've been on social media most of your day, there is a high chance that you have heard at least one of their tunes. One of their songs that has gone viral for being used in TikTok videos and Insta reels is "Vacation." The introduction of "A-a-aye, I'm on vacation" definitely sets the mood of being carefree and living life the way you always wanted. Well, that is the major vibe of Dirty Heads songs, and through this song, many fans have unearthed the incredible discography of the band. However, for their loyal fans since their inception in the mid-2000s, this fame is long overdue.

Dirty Heads's blend of hip-hop, reggae, and rock, along with that laid-back South Cali attitude, has been a fan-favorite since they released their debut album "Any Port in a Storm" in 2008. The song "Lay Me Down" showed the potential of the Jared "Dirty J" Watson-led band. Taking inspiration from their California brothers, Sublime, the band was able to produce projects that would focus on positive vibes and infectious grooves. In return, they were able to amass a significant deal of followers.

What was thought of as an initial project producing positive vibes through rock reggae tunes, the band became a mainstay in the reggae-rock mainstream. Perhaps one of their secrets of longevity is that people found freedom in their music — almost comparable to Sublime, Pepper, and Iration but with a distinct Dirty Heads vibe, of course.

In the nearly two decades that the band has been active, they were able to release a significant amount of hit songs. Songs like "Vacation," "Dance All Night," "Lay Me Down," "My Sweet Summer," among many others, are the songs that most people associate to the band.

Apart from their fan-favorite studio albums, the band has also dominated the touring circuit — performing on their headlining tours and as guests to many artists. Every summer, Dirty Heads tour the country and occasionally performs in some festivals. This year, will be no exception. Starting July 11, the band will be joined by another Califonia-based band Slightly Stooped for their 2024 Summer Tour.

"So happy to be back out on the road with our boys! Every time we get together it's nothing but good times and I expect nothing less this summer!" says Dirty Heads' Duddy B.
