On September 9 & 10, 2005, the bands Camper Van Beethoven and Cracker hosted the first Camp Out in Pioneertown, California. Led by singer David Lowery, the bands celebrated two decades of work by coordinating special concerts with lineups featuring the original members. The event also included rare sets from such notorious side projects as Monks of Doom and performances by Johnny Hickman, Victor Krummenacher, Jonathan Segel, Porch Stock Footage, and Greg Lisher. This is the film that documents this special event, and the first of what this talented family of bands hope will be many.
