Camper Van Beethoven
Summary: Camper Van Beethoven is an alternative rock band that was founded in 1983 in Redlands, California, though the band soon moved to Santa Cruz, California. Camper Van Beethoven mixed elements of pop, ska, punk rock, folk, country, and acid rock into an eclectic, catchy and sometimes mysterious ensemble, years before the so-called alternative rock moniker came to mainstream attention. CVB had roots in the earlier projects Sitting Duck and Estonian Gauchos , proto-CVB projects from which some of the earliest CVB songs originated.
