With Don Caballero
Che formed Don Caballero in late 1991 with guitarist Mike Banfield and bassist Pat Morris. Between 1993 and 2000, Don Caballero released five immensely influential albums on Touch and Go Records and played hundreds of shows, earning a reputation as the definitive math rock band.
Che became notorious in the underground music community for his erratic and unpredictable behavior, from stripping down to his boxer shorts to play the drums, to capping off a particularly brilliant performance by breathing fire. Don Caballero's dissolution in 2000 was largely due to Che's on-stage outbursts and tensions between Che and guitarist Ian Williams. In recent years Che has been rather hostile to Williams in the press, further putting to rest the hopes of a reunion of the "classic" Don Cab lineup.

Famous quotes containing the word don:
“Rather would I have the love songs of romantic ages, rather Don Juan and Madame Venus, rather an elopement by ladder and rope on a moonlight night, followed by the father’s curse, mother’s moans, and the moral comments of neighbors, than correctness and propriety measured by yardsticks.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
