The Cramps
Happy 75 To LUX INTERIOR!
21 October 2021
Erick Lee Purkhiser, better known as Lux Interior (he took his artist name from
a car advertisement), the psycho-billy frontman of clash and crash punks THE CRAMPS
was born on 21 October 1946 in Akron, Ohio. Happy 75 to one of the most charismatic
live performers in rock history.
He met his sexy muse, guitar soulmate, and future wife Poison Ivy (born Kristy Marlana Wallace) in 1972 and they started their garage trash combo The Cramps in 1976. The band released 8 studio albums between 1980 and 2003. The end came when Interior passed away in 2009 due to an aortic dissection. He was only 62.
Happy B. wherever you are…

If they look like Halloween, dress like Halloween, and sound like Halloween, then

unquestionably 1979 zombie cracker

Really Excorsistic Music For Really Excorsistic People – CHELSEA WOLFE Covers THE CRAMPS
8 September 2020
(Artwork LP Wolfe)
A couple of months ago a cracking covers compilation honoring psychobilly icons
The Cramps hit our messed-up planet. Also messed-up is the oddball title of the album: Really Bad Music For Really Bad People: The Cramps as Heard Through the Meat Grinder of Three One G . Got it?
The line-up of the participating artists features among
others: TV Set, Metz, Qui, Zeis! feat Mike Patton, and Daugthers.
The one that did and still does my head in is the darktastic performance by doom and gloom priestess CHELSEA WOLFE turning SHEENA’S IN A GOTH GANG into a back-breaking industrial juggernaut. Really excorsistic music for really excorsistic.
Big beats from Badsville!.
Press play and release the human flies…
