The Cramps were an American rock band formed in New York City in 1976. The band was fronted by Lux Interior (born Erick Purkhiser) and Poison Ivy Rorschach (born Kristy Wallace), and was known for its unique blend of rockabilly, garage rock, punk rock, and B-movie themes.
The band formed in the mid-1970s and was originally composed of Lux Interior, Poison Ivy, and drummer Nick Knox. They began playing shows in the New York City area, quickly building a reputation for their high-energy live performances and their distinctive style. They released their debut EP, "Gravest Hits," in 1979 on their own label, Vengeance Records. The band went on to release several more EPs and albums, including "Songs the Lord Taught Us" (1980) and "Psychedelic Jungle" (1981) which are considered classics of the psychobilly genre.
The Cramps were also known for their outrageous stage performances, featuring Lux Interior's wild, energetic dancing and Poison Ivy's distinctive guitar playing. They were heavily influenced by the rockabilly music of the 1950s, as well as by the horror and B-movie themes of their stage performances.
The band continued to tour and release albums throughout the 1980s and 1990s, and they remained active until Lux Interior's death in 2009. The Cramps are widely considered to be one of the most influential and important bands of the psychobilly and garage rock genres..
