The two bands history is interwoven well past shared singer and guitarist David Lowery.

On the one hand, it was two of my favorite bands, each one responsible for a (different) decade's worth of quality alternative rock.

Santa Cruz’s Camper Van Beethoven was one such band putting out New Roman Times that year (and the test-run cover of Fleetwood Mac’s Tusk two years before that) their first new studio record in a decade and a half.

As I was listening to Camper Van Beethoven at the 9:30 Club recently, I was reminded of the title of a Spotify playlist of 80s alternative rock: Left of the Dial.

Cracker’s set started with an acoustic flavor.

The two bands are really just different sides of main man David Lowery's personalities and consist of primarily the same members.
