Info for II & III + Live in Nebraska 1986 (40th Anniversary Edition)

“Do not eat or drink anything past midnight prior to your appointment- NO FOOD, NO LIQUID”. Non-sensical, un-user friendly, at times half finished. Camper Van Beethoven’s second album II & III saw the folk-punk of the band’s debut LP morphing into an even wider melting pot of stylistic influences and (un)ironic contradictions, all rolled up into a coherently incoherent collection of some of the band’s most defining songs. Originally released in 1986, the follow up to Telephone Free Landslide Victory did much to develop an already iconoclastic Camper Van Beethoven idiom.

II & III ranges from alt-country ballads (“Sad Lovers’ Waltz”) to call-backs to the European folk instrumentals of the debut (“No Krugerrands For David”, “4 Year Plan”). Also featured is the band’s bluegrass-Americana take on Sonic Youth’s “I Love Her All the Time”, feeding their appetite for cover songs.

Camper Van Beethoven

Camper Van Beethoven
is an American alternative rock band formed in 1983 in Redlands, California. Known for their eclectic mix of punk rock, folk, ska, and world music, the band gained a cult following with their debut album, Telephone Free Landslide Victory, released in 1985. This album featured their iconic hit "Take the Skinheads Bowling."

In 2025, Camper Van Beethoven will celebrate the 40th anniversary of Telephone Free Landslide Victory with special performances at The Fillmore in San Francisco on April 26 and 27. These shows will mark the band's first live performances in five years, drawing fans from all over to commemorate this milestone. The anniversary concerts will be a testament to the band's enduring influence and the timeless appeal of their genre-blurring music. The shows will feature all the original members: David Lowery, Victor Krummenacher, Greg Lisher, Chris Molla, Jonathan Segel, and Chris Pedersen.

This album contains no booklet.
