Camper Van Beethoven, Scruffy The Cat: The Ritz, New York NY
Evelyn McDonnell, Billboard, 19 November 1988
YOU CAN take Camper Van Beethoven out of California, but you can't take California out of Camper Van — and you can't necessarily ask the band to perform well in a foreign environment. To a group of sarcastic beatniks, a show in the hype-happy Big Apple is bound to be a bad trip. Not that the Campers didn't try Oct. 22; they even dressed in native New York garb: black.
