Born in Sacramento, California, living in Berlin, Anton Barbeau is known alternately in various circles around the world as psych-pop troubadour, cosmic shaman and Banana Guy. He has shared the stage with the likes of Robyn Hitchcock, Robin Williamson, Weezer, Emmy the Great and Japanese noise gods Mono. He's recorded with the Bevis Frond, The Loud Family, Robbie McIntosh, Kimberley Rew, Stornoway, Sharron Kraus and assorted members of Sacramento's CAKE. And Julian Cope got him high.
