First band i ever saw live (1985 at the Apollo, Manchester UK) and no-one else has ever measured up..God bless you Lux there's one rocker missing down here...and one more up there.
The end of Lux is the end of an era because for thirty years the Cramps have been sending the message of "Hey!, what is wrong with this picture?". And as we can see the rebels have been right all along. This country is fucked up. The Cramps version of Heartbreak Hotel was a masterpiece of satirical commentary. They topped both Freberg and Spike Jones with that one. Loved ya Lux even if I never did any drugs.
The pictures of you that I took at The Cuckoo's Nest where you unzipped those vinyl 'front-to-back' chick pants and dropped to the ground as the Bouncer tried (in vain) to cover you, and you continued to gyrate, spew, drool, grimace, and pout to "The Way I Walk" while your left nut was in plain view -it confirmed what we always knew about genius: It comes quick, cheap, and wet. Thank you, Lux. And thank you Ivy and the rest. See you at the funeral.
normaly i heard classic punk but in the end of the 80s wen i was a boy with 15/16 years old i buy meny vinil discs of the cramps like
stay sick ,of the bone , a date with Elvis ,smel of female ,bad music for bad people (its a bit like of the bone, i say many tracks are) but i buy it anyway. so thats wy i like the Cramps.
i red almust the commentarys and nobody said the Poison Ivy its one of the most sexy musician of all time .the hair the style everithing on her its sexy.
would have loved to have been there... i saw them in 86 in sheffield... most of the tour they used to club sound system.. but the university octagon didn't have a band PA... so bands hired there own... and even for a band with a reputation for being loud the cramps went fucking mad!... the speaker stack must have been 15 feet by 25 feet on 'each' side of the stage!!!!... i was half deaf with tinitus for 3 fucking days!s... the loudest band i have ever heard. and friends.. i've heard loud bands!
Would it be a bad idea to see them on acid? Just wondering... Is it too rowdy? I'm not a pussy, but I think the Cramps and psychodelics might go hand in pants...
one of the transcendental shows of my life was the Cramps at the Peppermint Lounge (not this show, an earlier one). The place was completely packed, so many people that you simply couldn't fall--everyone bouncing up and down for an hour or so. I was liquid by the end...especially since I was positioned in front of Ivy the whole time...I fell in love that day...thanks for the memories!
BESTIAL!!!!!!! GREAT!!!!!!!
