The [[lo-fi music|lo-fi]] band '''sloshy''' is a group that [[Strong Sad]] enjoys listening to. They were introduced in the Strong Bad Email [[concert]], where they were opening for a [[Limozeen]] concert. [[Strong Bad]] was at first unwilling to view their set (as he had not heard of them), instead choosing to come &quot;fashionably late&quot;. Due to a general lack of women in the audience, Limozeen never came on to play, and so sloshy played both sets, becoming one of Strong Bad's favorite bands until he finally realized they are not [[Heavy Metal|metal]].
'''sloshy''' (stylized in lowercase) is a [[lo-fi]] [[alternative rock]] band. The band's general appearance and apathetic affect parody influential grunge/alt-rock bands that saw success in the 90s, such as [[Nirvana (band)|Nirvana]], [[Weezer]], and [[Pavement (band)|Pavement]]. The band has a minimized presence onstage: wearing street clothes rather than formal outfits or special costumes, only using a few Christmas lights in lieu of special effects, and may even perform with their backs turned to the audience (in reference to adjacent alt-rock subgenre [[shoegaze]]). One of sloshy's most noticeable traits is backup singing consisting of bland, echo-filtered repetition of previous lines.


The band has been around since approximately 2001, and initially had a total of three members: Mitch Stockton, the lead vocalist and guitarist; Clark Cross-Country, the bassist and backing vocalist; and Dan DiMinilliditto, the drummer. In 2018, it was revealed they had added two new members, Doug Tarndner and Mark D., who both play guitar. Overall, they appear somewhat apathetic to their performances; during concerts, the band just strings some Christmas lights over the bass drum for special effects, wear whatever they had been wearing that day, and display a general lack of courtesy for the audience. Clark looks strikingly similar to [[Patrick Wilson (musician)|Patrick Wilson]], the drummer of alternative rock band [[Weezer]]. He wears regular glasses, not sunglasses, much to Strong Bad's astonishment.
Though they first appeared in 2007, [[Homestar Runner universe|in-universe]] the band has been around since approximately 2001. The band's first appearance was in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[concert]], which established them as one of [[Strong Sad]]'s favorite bands. sloshy were opening for [[Limozeen]], but as the headliner's contract rider was unfulfilled sloshy played both sets. They briefly became one of Strong Bad's favorite bands until he realized they are not [[Heavy Metal|metal]]. The [[Page Titles|page title]] of [[Limozeen vs. sloshy]] ("The Label Made Us Do It!") suggests that sloshy and [[Limozeen]] are signed to the same record label, and the extreme contrasts in their [[Style|style]] are often emphasized for comedy. A fictionalized version of sloshy appear as the antagonists in [[Limozeen vs. sloshy|an episode]] of ''[[Limozeen: "but they're in space!"]]''.


One of sloshy's most noticeable traits is that their only backup singing consists of one of the members (very blandly) repeating previous lines with an echoey microphone effect, or in the case of &quot;Because, It's Midnite,&quot; saying &quot;Because, It's Midnight.&quot; This is similar to the spoken word style employed by influential indie/alternative rock band [[Pavement (band)|Pavement]]. An example of this is in Pavement's song &quot;[[Stereo (Pavement song)|Stereo]]&quot;.
The ''sloshy'' [[Wordmark (graphic identity)|wordmark]] is typically rotated 180 degrees with ''o'' printed in a contrasting color, usually red ('''ʎɥsols''').


The members of sloshy were the antagonists of [[Limozeen: "but they're in space!"|Limozeen: "But they're in space!"]] on at least one occasion.
