They were definitely an interesting mix of genres. Most people really only know the song low but I think its a shame more haven’t heard this and especially the song teen angst. They had some good underrated tunes. Unfortunately for them they we’re essentially thrown into a decade where they had to compete with bands like pearl jam, nirvana, soundgarden, alice in chains, etc. not so much compete with them but when you see those band names its hard to really stand out in a decade where those bands blew up the world. Love the 90’s more than anything. A hell of a lot of amazing musicians and song writers. Without a doubt throw them into that mix

OMG, just 'rediscovered' this gem! I first became aware of this song, and Cracker, when I was living in America in the 90s (I'm a Brit and back in the UK now, so I suppose I was a Eurotrash girl!). My boyfriend at the time was a manager of a music store on L.I. and I got lots of promo freebie CDs of American bands and singers I may otherwise not have heard of had I not been living there at the time. Cracker was one of those bands and Kerosene Hat was one of the CDs I as gifted by my then bf. I loved it!

[@seanpriebe6611]

What a great band - saw them in a tiny club in Hattiesburg Mississippi years ago. It was a stop over gig for them between Memphis and Gulfport . thought they might play for a hour and be on there way - they tore it up for about three hours. Thanks Dave and Johnny

All these years later and this album rocks still !! Hidden tracks 69, to 99 what great music these Camper Van Bethoven's are. Great music video for the age, boy does lead singer ever look like Woody Harrelson. I sleapt in a park near Sneaky Dee's downtown Toronto, miss those crazy 90's nites

Track 69 off of the Kerosene Hat CD. I fondly remember finally getting my own CD player that could skip forward that far.

[@SKOJCV]

Me too man- that "hidden track"

[@billschlafly4107]

I found this song on a CD while studying thermodynamics. No joke. I studied while playing CDs and one day I was playing Cracker's Kerosene Hat. The disc just kept going all they way to track 69 while I was busy solving entropy equations.

2021 still missing the 90's. I recall being in Paris with my mom and crossing paths with this punk girl wearing all black with her family. We both turned to look back at each other, I was a 15 year old skater punk. Thought about her the rest of that trip and this song will always reming me of that moment in time.

I remember in 2003 when I was 11 I was in Vegas with my parents and saw this cute boy at the pool. I ended up seeing him again at the Grand Canyon a few days later. I thought it was fate that his family had gone to Vegas and then the Grand Canyon. Our trip ended and we came back home to SoCal. Never talked to him or saw him again 😂

[@canucck]

So few people have let it play out that long to find this gem!

[@CharlesYuditsky]

This was my Grandads favorite song between us. He was looking for a Euro-trash girl in France, 1944 and didnt find her. I got out of the Army and put this song on while we were drinking whiskey and he got a kick out of it. Before that he always was like "why do you gotta listen to that wierdo music?" While we were getting trashed he belted out with "yeah, i was looking for that same girl" We laughed our asses off. I didnt jave the heart to tell him I found her in a kinda disco night in Erlangen. He died the next year. He told me a lot of shit he never let anyone know at his bedside. Old soldier to new soldier.

This song and Euromad by T-Bone Burnett are the soundtrack to my retired life here in Europe. Playing music with Slovak musicians who think I'm some sort of demi-god from Chicago... but it is incredibly re-affirming to know that they play as well as anyone I've played with in the US. When I play stuff like this, they are completely tossed into the weeds... "OMG!" they say. "How is this possible?... is there more to the US than metallica, Aerosmith and Guns/roses?"..."f**k yeah" I say. We have bands that can bury any one of those 3 in a New York Minute!... our music isn't all chordless, riff-less garbage.
