Victor Krummenacher’s multi-faceted career begins in the mid-80s in Santa Cruz, California when he and David Lowery formed Camper Van Beethoven, and—after Jonathan Segel joined the group–their jangly and stoned “Take The Skinheads Bowling” became an instant college radio staple.

Their 80s discography includes Telephone Free Landslide Victory (1985), II & III (1986, the first featuring Greg Lisher), Camper Van Beethoven (1986), Our Beloved Revolutionary Sweetheart (1988) and Key Lime Pie (1989).

CBV disbanded in 1990 and Krummenacher and CVB guitarist Greg Lisher formed Monks of Doom in the early ’90s.

He later began his solo career, signing, and writing, and recorded several albums with guests like Dave Alvin. After a nine-year recording layoff, Camper rebooted full throttle in 2013 with the California-themed La Costa Perdida and the sequel El Camino Real in 2014.
