Riding in the Camper Van

Among the founding fathers of “indie” rock, David Lowry and Camper Van Beethoven have been on-again off-again purveyors of eclectic and quirky pop-rock music combining ska, punk, alt-country and a bit of “world” music. Their annual post-Christmas visit to the Lobero is a loud and rollicking trip down memory lane with stops at their hits like “Take the Skinheads Bowling” and more recent fare like “Northern California Girls.” Funny/crazy lyrics and driving beats make for an alt evening of fun, sophisticated garage band derived musical mayhem, and if you stick around you get Cracker, a more country iteration of the CVB family.
