YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT THE REAL JUNK?

[defrog]

Lux Interior is dead at 62.

Damn it.

I’ve been a fan of The Cramps for over 20 years now. My first exposure to them was the Bad Music For Bad People comp, and it was love at first listen. From the music to the camp theatrics informed by a genuine love for 50s B-movies and fetish fashion, The Cramps had everything you needed in a great rock band – not least an insane lead singer.

I saw them play in Nashville in 1991. It looked more or less like this:

Only Lux wore a lot less, and did obscene things with the microphone.

It’s still one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. I wanted Nick Knox’s job ever since.

Thanks for everything, Lux.

And condolences to Poison Ivy.



Tear it up,

This is dF
