INDIE-ROCK PIONEERS CAMPER VAN BEETHOVEN TO FUND SXSW TRIP BY LETTING FANS SPONSOR SONGS AT THEIR SHOWS!

DAVID LOWERY LEADS BOTH CRACKER & CAMPER VAN BEETHOVEN FOR THREE SXSW SHOWCASES IN AUSTIN

The more things change, the more they stay the same… well, perhaps at least for CAMPER VAN BEETHOVEN, the pioneering Santa Cruz-based band that helped usher in indie-rock over a quarter-century ago. Although the band doesn’t currently have a label, they’re incorporating an inventive, if not absurd, way of funding their trip to perform at this year’s SXSW Music Festival in Austin, TX.

In a nutshell, CVB are selling fans the right to sponsor songs during their two SXSW performances for $100 each. In exchange, a Santa Cruz Roller Derby Girl will skate across the stage carrying a placard with the respective fan’s name (or business name) on it.
