The Stumblers Story

It's been about a year-and-a-half since I last saw the Stumblers play: Dec. 13, 2003, in fact! They squeezed into The Aloha for this show of roots rock and stories about how Dave got those white spots falling off a teeter-totter, falling into the Sydney tarpits (along with his Siamese twin, who has the same marks in reverse), running into one of those iron posts they use to keep young trees growing properly, and accidentally flambee-ing himself. Hmm ...

Dave and Richard.



Rich takes a vocal and lifts a leg.



Tim and Jim.



Chris on drums and bourbon. My apologies for terrible picture quality.



Stumblers and drinkers.



Their own annual Liquor Pig Fest will be the band's next gig.

• Lower Class Brats, Clit 45, The Sweet Janes, The Rookers play Mavericks; this is an all ages show with the doors at 7 p.m.
