Wow I have been busy, only finding out today, care of Penny on the MHB boards, that Lux Interior died this past week. He was half of the band The Cramps, well-loved punk rock psychedelic rockabilly band.
Yes, that all goes together.
RIP, Lux. & May your heaven be paved in gold lame.
This is them doing “What’s Inside a Girl?” (which was one of my favorite tracks):
I especially love the gum-chewing blase’ness of the band while Lux is doing his restless,jittery thing…RIP indeed..say hi to Sid.
Oh, I hadn’t heard this! Wow, that’s sad. We saw The Cramps once back in Boston, many moons ago. Needless to say, it was a wild show. When Lux started crowd surfing, I know he had his underwear on. By the time he got back to the stage, not so much.
Thanks for this news, Helen.
God. You know, they just don’t make ‘em like that anymore…
I’m not *that* much into psychobilly, but of course it goes together. I played the video because I haven’t heard The Cramps in ages. Great sound!!!
