CAMPER VAN BEETHOVEN PLOTS 30TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR

PIONEERING INDIE BAND TO DEBUT FIRST NEW SONGS IN NINE YEARS FROM NEW ALBUM 'LA COSTA PERDIDA' (JAN. 22 / 429 RECORDS)

CVB TO TAPE THREE NPR SHOWS IN JAN: WORLD CAFÉ, HERE & NOW, & MOUNTAIN STAGE

Camper Van Beethoven is planning a thirtieth anniversary tour starting Thursday and running through February. The band will debut its first new songs in nine years in concert. 'La Costa Perdida' (January 22 / 429 Records) is the band's tenth album and first in nine years.

Billboard.com recently spotlightlighted the band, which are among the creators of the genre of indie rock.

CVB will also tape three NPR shows in January: World Café, Here & Now, and Mountain Stage.

In a feature last month, the San Diego Union-Tribune said, "The group’s daring sonic hybrid defined 'alternative' before the term was widely used."

CVB tour lineup: Victor Krummenacher (bass, baritone guitar), Greg Lisher (guitars), David Lowery (guitars and vocals), Jonathan Segel (violin, guitar, mandolin, organ, backing vocals) and Frank Funaro (drums and percussion).
