Lux Interior, the lead singer of The Cramps, died today. The Cramps were a [insert adjective here] band. There's really no way to describe them. Punk. Garage. Rockabilly. Shock. Schlock. Horror. Yeah, all that and more.
As I mentioned on this site before, I was lucky enough to see The Cramps play at the Cat's Cradle in Chapel Hill on Valentine's Day many, many moons ago. It was a hell of a show. I even caught a wine cork that Lux Interior spit into the crowd.
Unfortunately, The Cramps were a band that did not get much acclaim. Hell, I just did a search on Google News and there were only 19 reports of his death out there on the Internet. Sad.
Here are ten songs by The Cramps for those who may not be familiar with the band or for those who want to remember the band:
Bikini Girls With Machine Guns
Can Your Pussy Do The Dog?
The Creature From The Black Leather Lagoon
Garbageman
Goo Goo Muck
I Was A Teenage Werewolf
Naked Girl Falling Down The Stairs
Surfin' Bird
What's Inside A Girl?
Zombie Dance
Lux Interior Is Dead
