1983,
Collage art by Karen. This is an interesting flyer: note the "and
special guest". This "special guest" was in fact The
Vandals. They played the previous friday night at the Backstage (see
the other flyer).
The Backstage's owner, Jim Baker, insisted that no advertising be done
for the Stumble Inn gig until AFTER the Backstage show. So we hung this
flyer all around, while getting the word out. Thing is, BOTH shows were
packed and I'm not sure which one was better. Seeing the Vandals launch
into their classic "Urban Struggle", a parody of the whole
"urban cowboy" phenom, at the Stumble Inn, with the wagon
wheels and stuffed deer heads all around, was, well, memorable (yes,
the crowd went nuts). Then they broke out the tanks of nitrous that
they stole the previous day in Phoenix and the whole night was a gas.
