I'll tell you a truth: until I moved to the UK a few years ago I thought 'Pictures of Matchstick Men' was a Camper Van Beethoven song.

"What happened was that the first album was done in two weekends and by the second record we started making money. So the second album we had a couple more weekends, where we could start layering stuff. We had more time and more tracks, and I think we were using two 8-tracks. But it was around that time that tension arose within the band."

It's pretty clear that after three decades of creativity, Camper Van Beethoven is far more than a David Lowery side project.

As ever, it's an eclectic mix of styles: there's Tex-Mex two-step ("La Costa Perdida"), lolloping Allmans-esque boogie ("You Got to Roll"), mutant country ska-punk ("Peaches in the Summertime"), and several shades of sun-baked psychedelic rock streaked with slide guitar and violin –most notably "Someday Our Love Will Sell Us Out".

When Camper Van Beethoven oozed out of California's post-punk scene circa mid-1980s, they confronted witnesses with a set of confounding contradictions: a novelty band, ostensiblyTake the Skinheads Bowling" was the hit—counter-intuitively sporting a stunning breadth of musical range and ability; a fiercely DIY aggregation, yet explicitly cosmopolitan, conversant with everything from Balkan balladry to Jamaican ska; a hard-rock behemoth, yet leaning more on violin than electric guitar as lead instrument.

Camper Van Beethoven' s delightfully irreverent and musically scatterbrained 1985 debut, Telephone Free Landslide Victory , played like a Dear Abby column for the "Why so serious?" faction of the '80s indie scene.

Before David Lowery was known as a leading crusader for musicians' rights against the evils of thieving NPR interns , and/or the frontman of fairly popular 90s alt-rock band Cracker, he was the most famous member of semi-famous, 80s indie band Camper Van Beethoven.

There is a majestic weirdness to Camper Van Beethoven, recaptured in all of its freak-flag glory on La Costa Perdida, their first studio effort in some eight years.

Long before he was lecturing interns on the economic plight of modern musician (and contending for the top spot in our list of 2012′s Biggest Band Beefs ), David Lowery was fronting Camper Van Beethoven, one of America's original "college rock" bands (the genre later known as "alternative rock," and more recently, "indie rock").
