Though I never got into the Cramps it's a shame when good musicians die. (And for what it's worth, Dax Riggs of Acid Bath/Agents of Oblivion/Daisyhead and the Mooncrickets/Deadboy and the Elephantmen/T-Dax and his White Plastic Soul/Dax Riggs fame writes
far weirder, more fucked up lyrics.)
Shite musicians, but excellent band and boy oh boy what a frontman that's just died. The very
essence of rock 'n' roll, the Cramps were.
Big stilettos to fill, and a huge love for chicken.

So the ultimate psychobilly band is...?

Horton Heat.
And the Cramps, completely unlike Alien Sex Fiend, were awesome.

One of my few true heroes ..... R.I.P.
PS. That movie clip they showed in the article is really hilarious. In their early days as a band, they got the bright idea that they wanted to perform in an asylum for the mentally insane. For some reason, they actually got permission to do a gig at the Napa Mental Institute in California. The only recording is some very vague black&white video tape. It's amazing ! The patients in the crowd sing along, dance, stand on the improvised stage. They take Lux's microphone to take over the singing, etc. Hilarious. :)

guys that write songs like BIKINI GIRLS WITH MACHINE GUNS are not allowed to die in a good world.
