Closing in on 20 years after their formation, Camper Van Beethoven proudly announce the release of a box set entitled “Cigarettes & Carrot Juice: The Santa Cruz Years.” “Cigarettes and Carrot Juice” contains 4 albums of classic recordings dating primarily from 1984-1987, the prime years of the bands existence in Santa Cruz, California, a sleepy coastal college town which proved to be an idyllic place for the prolific young band to woodshed their talents. Camper Van Beethoven are looked upon as one of the seminal “college rock” bands of the 1980s, predating the 1990s wave of micro-marketed alternative rock. A wildly diverse mixture of personalities and music, “Cigarettes and Carrot Juice” features the work of a unique band as they captured their voice on outings for small independents such as Independent Project Records, Rough Trade, and their own Pitch-A-Tent label.
