Title: "Band Says First New Album in Nine Years Is Heavily Influenced By 'Holland'-era" Post by: PongHit on December 30, 2012, 03:59:13 PM Stylistically, Lowery calls the band-produced album "the fake hippie/surfer side of Camper Van Beethoven. It's like Camper Van Beethoven leaning towards the Beach Boys' Big Sur period and the Grateful Dead. There's this Beach Boys album called 'Holland' that we have long had a fascination with in Camper, and we sort of ended up paying tribute to it by accident." The track "Northern California Girls," he says, also takes a page out of the Beach Boys' songbook; "Instead of 'California Girls' I started f***ing around and singing about northern California girls," he says. "Then I very quickly developed a story to it and finished it off." http://www.billboard.com/features/camper-van-beethoven-northern-california-1008008372.story#/features/camper-van-beethoven-northern-california-1008008372.story Title: Re: \ Post by: Dave in KC on December 30, 2012, 04:02:42 PM My whole adult life was influenced by the Holland era.
