-
- Yeah, David Lowery formed Cracker, mostly a straight ahead rock band.
- Mostly.
-
- Jonathan Segel, the original violinist, left before CVB's "Key Lime
- Pie" album was recorded, and was replaced by Morgan Fichter. Jonathan
- Segel is, to my knowledge, involved with two bands currently, one
- called Hieronymus Firebrain and another called Sideways. The former
- has an album out, but the personnel on the album have since been
- replaced and the live band is entirely different.
-
- Morgan Fichter played with Jane's Addiction on tour and most recently
- played on the Wellsprings of Hope album with Pat Johnston, Chris
- Cavacas and Penelope Houston, among others.
-
- The other three members of CVB are in the Monks of Doom, and they are
- probably the most interesting band of all of the above, at least
- musically speaking. Inventive and intense, playing strange and
- sometimes beautiful music.

- discography, send e-mail to me.
