Their roots-drenched folk-Punk brought us a world where ZZ Top went to Egypt, Joe Stalin had a Cadillac, and skinheads were often found bowling. Characterized by the California valley twang of David Lowery's vocals and Jonathan Segal's rampant use of the violin, they encompassed Psychedelia, Ska, and country-style hoedowns, bridging the many gaps between college radio styles of the mid-'80s. Capable of writing beautiful love songs (see "Sweethearts" or "She Divines Water" ) alongside their ironic multigenre pop, they disbanded shortly after achieving their greatest success with the Status Quo cover "Pictures of Matchstick Men." Lowery, of course, went on to form Cracker. - Jon PruettIndie/Alternativeen720Mon, 23 Nov 2009 09:12:58 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3567&rws=%2Fcamper-van-beethoven%2Fdiscography.rss Anyone growing up within earshot of college radio in the '80s could not avoid Santa Cruz, Calif.'s Camper Van Beethoven.
