Stereo Embers The Podcast 0080: Victor Krummenacher (Camper Van Beethoven, Monks Of Doom)

“Victor Krummenacher Doesn’t Want To Live In San Francisco Anymore”

After decades living in San Francisco, singer/songwriter Victor Krummenacher decided he didn’t want to live there anymore. Transformed by the tech industry and literally bathing in riches, the city the Riverside-born Krummenacher first fell in love with back in the ‘80s is a far different place. So he got out. In this candid conversation, the Camper Van Beethoven/Monks of Doom member talks to Alex about what happened to San Francisco, how to be creative with a broken heart and why it’s so important for an artist
to have a community. Krummenacher also chats about going through the darkest period of his life, keeping his instruments in the Counting Crows’ storage space and knowing that sometimes he was a hard guy to deal with in the studio.

Krummenacher’s fabulous new album Blue Pacific is out now!
