The Sloppy Boys

The Sloppy Boys are a “party rock” band from LA consisting of comedians Mike Hanford, Jeff Dutton and Tim Kalpakis. Prior to forming The Sloppy Boys, all three were writer-performers on the sketch comedy show “The Birthday Boys,” produced by Bob Odenkirk, which aired on IFC.

Together, the Boys have self-released three albums, Lifelong Vacation, Dancing on the Wind, and Paradiso. Their fourth, Sonic Ranch, was produced by Money Mark (Beastie Boys, Beck) at the legendary Sonic Ranch Studios in Texas. The entire process was captured by director Robert Holguin for his feature-length comedy-rock-doc Blood, Sweat and Beers or How The Sloppy Boys Made an Album on a Farm in West Texas.

The Sloppy Boys also host a weekly cocktail-making podcast, ranked a Top 3 Comedy Podcast by Vulture. New episodes drop every Friday.

MIDS was originally formed in 2019 and released an EP of heavier sounding, fusion tinged tunes that same year before an almost five-year hiatus. In 2024, the band was reborn as a quintet featuring well known SC musicians Roger Caughman, Jon Warf, Michael Crawford, Cam Powell & Dylan Dickerson. July of ‘24 saw the arrival of the debut MIDS record titled ‘MISSION ACCOMPLISHED’. This collection of lobotomized punk classics set a new standard for what the band is capable of and has generally been met with high praise. Just three months later, the band released another EP titled ‘BUSH GARDENS’ in October of ’24. The band is currently performing live regularly in support of both releases and is crafting a new batch of songs with plans to enter the studio again shortly.
