  The Cramps - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lux Interior and Poison Ivy met in Sacramento, California in 1972.

The lineup in 1976 was Poison Ivy Rorschach, Lux Interior, Bryan Gregory (guitar) and his sister Pam "Ballam" (drums).

 What is Lux   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
The lux (symbol: lx) is the SI derived unit of illuminance or illumination.
The difference between the lux and the lumen is that the lux takes into account the area over which the luminous flux is spread.
Achieving an illuminance of 500 lux might be possible in a home kitchen with a single fluorescent light fixture with an output of 12000 lumens.

Lux Interior (not his real name) met Poison Ivy Rorschach (not her real name) in California as she was hitchhiking.
Lux: Well, you know it's just basically that me and Ivy have always written all the songs, and we had the idea for this band before we'd even HAD any bands, because we were going to see other people in bands.
Lux: When I was a kid, I used to say "someday I'll have one," and I hate to say I still haven't got one, but maybe that'll happen before they throw me in the box.

Lux: Yeah that’s a good thing and besides that teenagers are always going to be into sex, so if anything good happens that’s probably the age group where it’s going to come from.
Lux: Well, that’s OK with me. They sell to the right stores, they sell vinyl and they sell CDs to the stores where a lot of people would go buy a Cramps record and that’s that’s good and they know what they are doing in regards to a lot of things.
Lux: Yeah, it really is because everybody sees something different in the cramps and there’s been times in the past where the record label would say, "Oh, you’re a freak show!", "You’re weirdos!" "We really got to push that freaky thing!", and that’s a part of it.

Surprisingly, Cramps frontman Lux Interior (second from left) was not born sporting lamé undies and a pompadour.
It was an odd ambition, born of the boredom of the Rust Belt into which Lux and guitarist Poison Ivy had settled by the early '70s.
Lux's deft sidestepping of the question suggests that the Cramps are happier without the answers.

The demos are lo-fi recordings of their first songs, recorded with a revolving cast of musicians around vocalist Lux Interior and guitarist Poison Ivy Rorschach.
The liner notes-- written by Lux and Ivy themselves-- are full of record-geek comparisons like "Carl Perkins meets the Shadows of Knight" or "Link Wray meets Dwight Pullens." The booklet essay describes trips to various records stores as much as the actual recording process.
Lux Interior comes into his own as a frontman here, taunting and baiting the audience between songs, who respond with near-unbelievable squealing throughout opener "The Way I Walk" and songs like "I Was a Teenage Werewolf " and "Love Me" (which sunk like a cannonball in water in the earlier set).

Lux: I think that everything I hear in what’s called psychobilly is unsexual, which is weird to me because the prime ingredient in rockabilly is sex.
Lux: If anything, I think rockabilly was the first time in the history of rock music that white people were hanging around with fls and openly listening to fl records, singing along with fl records.

Lux’s delayed entry into rock & roll (he was almost 30 when the band first gigged) was time valuably spent as a quasi-anthropological researcher who aimed not only to reveal rock & roll’s obscured history but to control its very destiny — an undertaking as audacious as it was perilous.
An ingenuous fan, Lux is also an Iggy-intense showman and a man of peculiar instinct whose innate pathology was coaxed into far weirder contours by the unhinged disc jockey Mad Daddy, the Cleveland airwaves’ primary spiritual guide.
When Lux finally assumed the shaman’s mantle, it was with a graceful authority.

 Studio Lux - Interior Designers FAQ
Most interior designers have an excellent sense of how lighting can enhance their designs, but do not have the technical knowledge necessary to select the proper fixtures, lamps, and beam spread required to achieve the desired effects.
This allows the lighting designer to follow the progress of the architectural and interior design and assist in solving lighting challenges that may arise due to difficult ceiling conditions, or architectural features that limit the type of lighting equipment that can be used.
However, we can work with you on all phases of the interior design process, and would be delighted to address any of your needs.

Disc two is comprised of two sets of "Gravest Hits" and "Songs The Lord Taught Us" era tunes recorded at Max's Kansas City and CBGB in 1977 and 1978 respectively, when the band decided to take their vision public.
Both shows were recorded in front of packed crowds of what sounds like over 15 disinterested people but apparently Lux must not have noticed, experiencing what sounds like an on-stage epilectic seizure or bout of Tourette's Syndrome, Gregory and Ivy bringing the fuzz and distortion.
As if all of this sonic roughage wasn't enough, Lux and Ivy's liner notes are some of the best ever, loaded with personal and sometimes disturbing anecdotes (like drummer Nick Knox being left blind in one eye after a rare infection), photos, flyers, and detailed recording information.

If it's possible for a band whose lead singer dresses in red PVC and invites the audience to spank his butt at regular intervals to be considered elder statesmen, then Lux Interior and the Cramps are elder statesmen.
Interior and his partner Poison Ivy Rorschach (the rhythm section basically consists of hired hands) have been purveying their brand of thrash-abilly for nearly thirty years; while they never received much airplay, their influence currently enlivens the airwaves in the music of the White Stripes.
As front man, Interior enjoys himself immensely; he may just be our Screaming Jay Hawkins, or if he ever wants to give up music, replace Elvira as the host of a schlock-horror movie show.

 dOc DVD Review: The Cramps: Live at Napa State Mental Hospital (1981) - Printable
Formed by stringbean vocalist Lux Interior and girlfriend/bassist Poison Ivy Rorshach—who would always be the core members over the years—the band at their most creative featured the late Bryan Gregory on guitar and Nick Knox on drums, and that's the classic Cramps lineup featured here for this brief 20-minute concert.
The band is in Ritalin-free rare form, with Gregory and Rorschach exuding a cadaverous cool, appearing as pillars between the manic twirling of Lux Interior's twangy modified Southern growl, with Knox thumping out drumbeats on a kit with a shredded bass drum.
The camera work is a bit shaky, moving around quickly at times before settling in one patient or another, each of whom seem to have their distinctive manner of expressing themselves.
