He was truly the last of a breed. )First Ron Asheton, now Lux, both dead at 60 from heart ailments; are these bad omens for 2009? Among the many records he played me were the first two Sex Pistols, which I hadn’t heard. It was a very sad day for many people around the world and particularly for me as I had the pleasure of meeting Lux on a number of occasions. There is no facet of popular culture that hasn’t been influenced by the Cramps and although they never got their due in terms of record sales, they changed thousands, maybe millions of lives. Though the band never found wide popularity, it had a fierce cult audience, and its approach to the sound of early rock ’n’ roll has been echoed in acts like the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and the White Stripes. Also, the band hasn't toured since 2006; the current tour dates on their official website have not been updated since then. Lux Interior of the Cramps has died. Lux Interior, the singer, songwriter and founding member of the pioneering New York City horror-punk band the Cramps, died Wednesday. When I was a little shit I read an interview with the Cramps & lux claimed to be over 300 years old. I wish I’d thought of taking them on a tour of gothic Dublin, it would have repaid them a little for the hundreds and thousands of hours of pleasure I got from their music and from the movies and musicians (and even the drugs – they were the first people I ever remember talking about ecstasy) they talked about in their interviews.

Often dressed in macabre, gender-bending costumes onstage, Interior evoked a lanky, proto-goth Elvis Presley, and his band quickly became notorious for volatile and decadent live performances.

I moved to NYC in 1981, so I missed the Cramps’ days at CBGB, but I did first see them at the old (and great!) The cause was heart failure, said Aleix Martinez, the band’s publicist.

He died Wednesday morning, not Tuesday. It’s noise, rockin’ noise.”, Lux Interior, 62, Singer in the Punk-Rock Era, Is Dead.

He is survived by his fabulous wife and fellow Cramps bandmate, Kristy Wallace, a.k.a. The first show I saw in NYC the night I got here in ’77 was the Cramps and the Ramones at CBGB.

Rock ’n’ roll is who you are.

Afterwards I realised that we were around the corner from the house where Sheridan le Fanu (author of seminal lesbo-vampire novel Carmilla) was born, and only a few hundred yards from Bram Stoker’s house. Poison Ivy. The Cramps were an American punk rock band formed in 1976 and active until 2009. Lux Interior, who introduced the excitement of deviant rockabilly to the punk era as the lead singer of the Cramps, died early Wednesday in Glendale, Calif. I never saw Lux again–except onstage–after that time, but I’ve always kept a warm memory. I think “Garbageman” is one of the great songs in rock and roll, and they were one of the great bands.
