A founding member of the quintessential '80s-era college radio band
Camper Van Beethoven,
Victor Krummenacher subsequently played in the CVB offshoot
Monks of Doom before beginning a solo career in 1995 with the release of
Out in the Heat, recorded with backing band A Great Laugh. The co-founder (with fellow CVB alum
Jonathan Segel) of the indie label Magnetic,
Krummenacher returned in 1998 with
Saint John's Mercy. The late nineties saw
Krummenacher continuing his collaboration with Segel and Eugene Chadbourne as Camper Van Chadbourne, and even mending fences with David Lowery, resulting in periodic reunions of the great
Camper Van Beethoven and an appearance on Cracker's album Forever. In 2003,
Krummenacher released his third solo album, Nocturne. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
