The story behind the band Brothers from Another Mother begins overseas in the restless sand dunes of Saudi Arabia . It was here in the " Magic Kingdom " that the families of Hans Stockenberger (lead vocals/guitar), Brian "the Brain" Stripling (Bass), and Ted Stripling (Drums), worked and played in the quiet town of Dhahran , Saudi Arabia . Armed with homemade moonshine, called Sidiqui (friend in Arabic), and their instruments, Brothers from Another Mother rocked and grooved the good people of Saudi Arabia . 3 Years later it was decided that the Brothers should try their luck in the United States and began a band comprised of childhood friends in Boston Mass, under the name Step Light. Step Light was very successful at partying and bringing much joy to the land with songs crafted about magic carpet rides, cute girls, and bizarre behavior. Finally, rent became to expensive in Boston and the Brothers realized for all the money they spent on rent they could have bought a small country and it was then decided Texas, which coincidentally is the Brothers home state before moving to Saudi, would be the best place to live and work at the craft they so love.
