RIP, Lux!

[David Ray Dog]

Shit, this does suck. Rest in peace Lux, we love you.

[Les Toil]

Woooowwwww. The Cramps recorded some of the most unruly rock in the galaxy from Goo-Goo Muck to Green Fuzz.

Stay sick Lux.

[Michel]

OMG! WHAT? Is that true?

[Gringo Starr]

I was close to the band around 1985-88. Candy Del Mar was a pal of mine when I was a teenager so I met the band a couple of times. There was a time when they were my absolute favorite band! This is sad news indeed. Trying to get some info but it is difficult at the moment. Keep us posted.

Stay sick
Turn blue...

[Shake Revard]

Horrible, horrible news.

Their music, along with the interview w/ Lux and Poison Ivy in Incredibly Strange Music, Vol. 1had a profound effect on my life.

Lux dies, but Bono lives. There is no god, and if there is, he has pathetic taste in music.

"I dig that goddamn rock n roll!"

This SUCKS with a capital S!!

[Wipeout!]

Holy fuck...
It goes without sayin' that the Cramps are one o' the most trashy bands (and one o' my top favs of all time!) and without them turnin' me on this sleaze...well, shit I don't wanna think about that...fuckin' sad.

Does anyone have any other sources other than the Daily Swarm (which ain't the most journalistic)

Glad I got to see 'em live a few years back...sad I only got to see 'em once...

Poor Poison Ivy...fuckin' sad.

[SEB]

Now I'll wait for confirmation...

[Shake Revard]

"Poor Poison Ivy...fuckin' sad."

That's just what I was thinking. They had the right kind of love.

[The Branded]

Has this been confirmed?
If its true its indeed very sad news!

[Sumiji]

nooooooooooooo! This really hurts...my stomach just dropped about 12 flights. The Cramps were such a big influence on my music and a great doorway to the whole garage scene. I guess I feel pretty dam lucky to see them a couple a years ago. Fuck! Ron Asheton now Lux. Rest in Peace.

[Grrtch]

I'm sorry guys... here's confirmation. from a press release received by PJ at Dirty Water...

Aleix Martinez, the Cramps' publicist, tells me it's true. "Lux passed away this morning due to an existing heart condition at Glendale Memorial Hospital in Glendale, California at 4:30 AM PST today. The family requests that you respect their privacy during this difficult time. "

all I can say is fuck.
