Lux interior

Some sad news for the history books.  Lux Interior of The Cramps died this week of his long standing heart condition. As the joint (with his wife Ivy) leader of The Cramps, Lux pretty much defined (if not invented) Psychobilly, as well as providing rock’n‘roll with some of its most entertaining music, outfits and visuals.

I’m no authority on The Cramps – I only own a couple of their many albums – but from the quality and flamboyance of what I know, I can honestly say that the world will be a more boring place for the loss of Lux. The following footage is a strong testimonial to that:

The Cramps – Bikini Girls with Machine Guns

The Cramps – Human Fly
