THE DOPEY LOPES STORY...
Dopey Lopes emerged onto the Rhode Island music scene in 1987 as the founder and front man for Two Guys and Another Guy. During those formative years, Dopey performed many shows opening for the Neighborhoods, Meat Puppets, the Adolescents, Verbal Assault among others. When Two Guys ended their run in late 1989, Dopey continued to perform around the region and in the early 1990's founded the groundbreaking cannabis jam act Herbal Assault. In 1998 he launched his popular DopeyLopes solo act! Known for his over - the - top stagemanship and high energy performances, Dopey Lopes now entertains a new generation of fans with his original Alternative Rock and some really killer covers by David Bowie and Cat Stevents. Dopey Lopes is inspired by and has opened for Mark Cutler, Neutral Nation, Rash of Stabbings, Barrence Whitfield, Cypress Hill, Kelly Deal, among many others over his long career on stage. In the late 1990's Dopey was signed to the Potters Field label along with Mark Cutler. Together they toured extensively throughout New England and New York and both artists enjoyed excellent press and radio airplay across the eastern US. Dopey released "Welcome to the Mental Stadium" in 1998 and subsequently recorded another full length record called "Love Songs About Rock and Roll". He currently makes all these recordings available for free download to his fans and followers. Since 2007 Dopey Lopes has performed relentlessly across the northeast; Two Guys still performs occasional shows most recently opening 2 sold out shows for the Neighborhoods in Newport and Matunuck RI. Dopey also performs with Tim Flynn's Area 51 and the Retrophonics. Now for 2019 he announces the "Dopey Lopes Up All Night Band" which has already been ripping up the stage with killer sets at the Met Cafe in Pawtucket RI and Diego's Barrio Cantina in Middletown, RI. The DL-UANB lineup is Dopey, Stumpy on Drums/Vocals, Musky Tremont on Guitar/Vocals, Sir Rockingham on Lead Guitar, Peter Breen, Bass/Vocals.
