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

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.

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.; ▶ Reply to This

If its true its indeed very sad news!; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Sumiji on February 4, 2009 at 7:13pm: 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.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Grrtch on February 4, 2009 at 7:17pm: 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.; ▶ Reply to This

Thanks for this Andy. I first saw this Doc at a screening after The Monks played in Zürich a couple of years ago (Dave was alive and kicking the banjo of course). I agree with you about the work done uncovering the older footage - very cool but I mu…

The Desperate Hour Podcast replied to PSPOT's discussion 'What song was the catalyst that introduced you to the endless psounds of 60's Garage Rock?' in the group Psychotic Reactions

way back in 1966 "96 Tears" was played to death on WMEX in Boston. It was ingrained on my 10-year-old brain. In high school in the early to mid 70s, I got made fun of by the teen cognosenti because the music I dug "wasn't complicated enough" I was v…
