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:
“When you think of the huge uninterrupted success of a book like Don Quixote, you’re bound to realize that if humankind have not yet finished being revenged, by sheer laughter, for being let down in their greatest hope, it is because that hope was cherished so long and lay so deep!”
—Georges Bernanos (1888–1948)
