there is CVB concert in my town this evenening, and i don't know if i should go. from what i read of them, i thought they were pretty interesting. but up to now, i've only heard "take the skinheads bowling" - and i think this is a pretty boring song.

so, can anybody help me with my decision ? apart from FB, i like "folk-influenced" music like giant sand, souled american, dar williams. i like acoustic guitars a lot, especially when they rock. i do appreciate good songwriting, basically.

is there any band CVB can be compared to ?

I joined the cult of Souled American / 'cause they are a damn' fine band

I'd say they were half way between Slayer and Norah Jones.

The only song I know by CvB is actually Take The Skinheads Bowling... and I think it's a great song.

2R: Broken Faces description is dead on. Go see Camper Van Beethoven. It'll be fun, and all over the map.

Yeah, I'd say to go see them. I get the idea that you'd like them. If you don't, though, at least you'll have that knowledge.

How much does the concert cost, by the way?
