Clinging
to pain and yearning for
happiness form the artist's
classic struggle in "Lithium"
The
CRAMPS represent
everything that
is truly reprehensible
about rocknroll.
Their cultural impact
created in its wake
a cavalcade of imitators.
They coined the
now popular term
"psychobilly" on
their 1976 gig posters.
The Cramps are best
known for founding
members, lead-singer
Lux Interior and
guitar-slinger Poison
Ivy. The current
line-up still features
long-time Cramps
drummer Harry Drumdini,
plus new blood Sean
Yseult sittin'in
on bass. As punk
rock pioneers in
the late seventies,
they recorded their
first album at the
legendary Sun Studios,
funded mainly by
Ivy's income as
a dominatrix in
NYC.
