Synopsis
Cucamonga, VanderLans s second book of photographs in a series that began with Palm Desert, is a tribute to Don Van Vliet, the founder and leader of the cult outfit, Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band. VanderLans retraces their trail, photographing the places and neighborhoods frequented by the Magic Band in the late 60's and early 70's. What emerges is a bittersweet picture of Southern California that blends a sense of nostalgia with the cold reality of passing time and urban development. The photographs show the suburban Southern California landscape as it is today a land of lush vegetation, concrete, deserts and subdivisions, all under the same vast blue sky. The book includes a bonus CD containing three musical tributes to Don Van Vliet created specifically for this publication by original Magic Band members Bill Harkleroad (Zoot Horn Rollo), John French (Drumbo) and Gary Lucas. Playing time 17 minutes. 96 pages, 5.5 x 8.5 inches, 36 full color photographs, cloth cover with blind emboss, sewn and case bound, with a CD attached in the back.

Cucamonga: In Search of Captain Beefheart
Seller: Hennessey + Ingalls, Los Angeles, CA, U.S.A.
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Used - Good. No Jacket. Second in a series of impressionist portraits of Southern California by Rudy VanderLans, Cucamonga is a tribute to musician Don Van Vliet, also known as Captain Beefheart. It's a kind of road trip through Southern California that takes in places such as Lancaster, Woodland Hills, Hollywood and Laurel Canyon, where, under the auspices of Frank Zappa, Van Vliet and his Magic Band developed their strikingly unique sound. What jumps out at you about these places is how nondescript they are, particularly in contrast to the music that sprouted there. Cucamonga is a document of localities that have spawned great talent and a reminder that such places, laced as they are with the mystique of rock and roll history, deserve to be preserved. Like Van Vliet's music, the photography of Rudy VanderLans is passionate, bold and highly unconventional. No dust jacket (as issued) and no obi. Cloth binding lightly soiled. Interior pages in good condition. Includes CD. Seller Inventory # 72124
