Lux Interior / The Cramps

[MadameHell]

I discovered them on the 4th of Feb 09, which tragically and coincidentally was the day Lux Interior (co-founder, lyricist and vocalist since 35 years) passed away.

RIP LUX INTERIOR

For those who don't know, The Cramps were formed between 1973 and 1976 by lovers Poison Ivy and Lux Interior (who were married 37 years) and were the original "Horror Punk" band, invented Psychobilly, and also anticipated Gothrock by way of their unusual and theatrical costumes. They are renowned as one of rock's greatest ever live acts, and Lux is renowned as one of its greatest frontmen.

Anybody here *ahem* also insane about them?

I'm not sure what you mean, but I ran across them by chance a month ago. I hope you're not going to be one of those wankers who thinks if I didn't know about them before I must be an idiot-- they're not exactly spoken of much and I don't get angry with people who don't know the Voidoids. What matters is your attitude when you hear it.
