THE CRAMPS : STOW


RIP :::::: Lux Interior

Ok, so The Cramps weren't officially from Ohio, BUT their LEGENDARY frontman was as well as "the human metronome" Nick Knox. Today I heard the news of his passing and felt compelled to trubute this great band. Not only did they rock out by doing their take on obscure sides, their shows were kick-ass as well. I was lucky enough to catch them several times. I was also lucky enough to meet and make a few rockabilly tapes for Mike, Lux's brother who played in The Walking Clampetts. But with all the hours spend listening to The Cramps over the years, and the several shows attended...one of the coolest times I had was standing along side Lux & Poison Ivy as we watched Mike and the rest of the Clampetts rock at Y-town's Penquin Pub!

These two cuts represent Lux very well.
