R.I.P. LUX INTERIOR - GARBAGEMAN XX

Paying homage to the great and tragically late Mr. Erick Purkhiser of the Cramps, the inventor of Psychobilly and a respected and much-loved icon in the Punk, Goth and Rockabilly worlds.

Dedicated to K. M. Wallace aka Poison Ivy Rorschach, his wife and guitarist of thirty-seven years, as well as his brothers Ron and Mike Purkhiser.

WHEN I DIE
DON'T YOU BURY ME AT ALL
JUST NAIL MY BONES UP
ON THE WALL
BENEATH THESE BONES
LET THESE WORDS BE SEEN
"THIS IS THE BLOODY GEARS
OF A BOPPIN' MACHINE!"

Stay Sick
Turn Blue

"Garbageman" by the Cramps, from "Songs The Lord Taught Us", 1980 - Illegal Records.

Every band ever should want to cover this song! "YOU AIN'T NO PUNK, YOU PUNK!"

This compilation was beautiful. The funny thing is, most people I know are sort of terrified of The Cramps. But Lux and Ivy were married for 37 years. Their band is a love story.

You did a wonderful job on the video. Lux was a true original; I never met him but I will miss him.

[TheStrainers]

one half Hillbillie and one half punk

A REAL SHOWMAN. Thanks for all the great shows Lux.

[ClashCityRockers0]

Sure, of course... but Lux and Ivy said that the Cramps was also the child they never had, so they could be mushy when they wanted to! ;)
