  • Chris Pedersen is a musician best known as the drummer of the groups Camper Van Beethoven, AKA CVB, (1986-1990, as well as reunion performances and recordings from 2002-present) and Monks of Doom (1986-1993, 2003-present. ) Pedersen first played with Camper Van Beethoven members David Lowery and Chris Molla in the band Box O' Laffs in the early 1980s. After Camper drummer Anthony Guess left the band after their debut album, the band was left temporarily without a drummer, leaving Lowery and Molla to fill in during the recording of their second album II & III. Pedersen joined CVB as the recording sessions were finishing, and ended up playing on the track "We're A Bad Trip. " Pedersen played on the albums Camper Van Beethoven, Our Beloved Revolutionary Sweetheart and Key Lime Pie. In 1986, he also started the CVB spin-off band Monks of Doom, with Camper members Molla, Greg Lisher, and Victor Krummenacher. In 1990, Camper disbanded, and Pedersen continued playing in the Monks of Doom, now featuring David Immerglück as a replacement for Molla. The Monks of Doom disbanded in 1993 when Immerglück left the band to focus on full-time studio work. Pedersen moved to Australia in 1998, and the Monks of Doom reunited to play some "final" shows before his move. Although Pedersen still resides in Australia, he has spent time in the United States, playing with a reunited Camper Van Beethoven and Monks of Doom. Although Frank Funaro is now the full-time Camper drummer, Pedersen played most of the drum parts on their reunion album New Roman Times in 2004. He also played on the cover album What's Left For Kicks? made by the reunited Monks and occasionally flies to the United States for live performances and studio work with both bands.
