Cracker/Camper Van Beethoven Update.
-
Artist:
Quite a few people have been wondering what is up with the bands this year. After two years of 100+ shows a year I guess it is a little odd to see just a couple of upcoming shows on our websites.Well i suppose the answer is obvious. we needed to go home and rest, resume our lives and work on new music.
CRACKER
Cracker is currently doing songwriting for a new album. we don't have a release date but if we put something out in the fall that would suit us.
To tide our fans over we plan on releasing a couple of limited edition website only CDs. The first is a live CD. "Live in Berlin". Recorded December 2006. This should be available in about a month.
The second CD available sometime this summer is still a little vague. It's gonna be the first in a series tentatively titled "How, Hi are you". Yes the Daniel Johnston reference is intentional. This will be a collection of unfinished demos, aborted commercial jingles, and other miscellany woven together into some kind of mashup ala "camper van beethoven is dead long live camper van beethoven". more on this when it becomes a real project
We of course will be playing the occasional show this spring and summer. check in later for details.
And of course we will be hosting the 4th Annual Cracker Camper Van Beethoven Campout in Pioneertown California Sept 11th, 12th and 13th.
CAMPER VAN BEETHOVEN
Our 25th anniversary as a band will be in June of this year. To celebrate we are planning an anniversary bash (venue and date will be announced shortly).
AND we will be releasing a 2 CD set. A greatest hits disc and our first 4 track demos in their entirety. warts and all i might add.
Hopefully this all happens about the same time.
oh and CVB is not playing in Italy, those dates you might see listed are Victor Krummenacher OF Camper Van Beethoven. but please go out and see these shows. you won't be dissapointed.
DAVID LOWERY SOLO
I've been working on a solo record off and on for the last year. I am hoping that i actually get around to finishing it in the next few months. oh yeah and each song is supposed to have a video to it. You can see/listen to a couple of the songs here.
ciao.david.
