The Cock Crows at Sunrise

News

The Italian tour was a nice sucess, thanks. I'll try to post a few photos when I have a chance, but it was a good time. Thanks to Maurizio Maurino for pulling off a memorable time. Hopefully we'll bring our little VK trio to some other Euro countries in the near future.

The McCabe and Mrs. Miller project with Alison is being mixes as I write. I've posted a mix of one song on the Music page. It's a pretty damn cool project, I hope y'all enjoy it, because I'm probably going to bring it to PiTown.

The Patriarch's Blues is being mixed by Bruce Kaphan, I'm planning to master it in July. The Patriarch's Blues was recorded in two days at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. 10 new pieces of music, mostly tracked live, featuring Jonathan Segel, Greg Lisher, David Immerglück, Doug Hilsinger, Alison Faith Levy, John Hanes, Paul Olguin and John R. Burr. At one point we had eight people recording at the same time... it was pretty insane, but the results are really energetic and full of life. Which is pretty good for a record about death. Expect copies in time for Pioneertown.

Finally for this year, it is, believe it or not, Camper Van Beethoven's 25th anniversary in June. We have a greatest hits on its way out, with stuff from the first 7 years of the band plus some "new" recordings. We have a big show at the Fillmore on June 28th, and Jonathan and I will be playing solo sets the next day on the 29th. Check out the shows for a complete list of what's coming up.

Victor Krummenacher's fifth solo record, The Cock Crows at Sunrise was released on February 20th, 2007 on Magnetic/MVD Audio.
