Poison ivy Poison ivy ( Toxicodendron radicans), in the family Anacardiaceae, is a woody vine that is well-known for its ability to produce urushiol, a skin irritant which for most people will cause an agonizing, itching rash. Poison ivy is apparently far more common now than when the Europeans first entered North America, because it has profited immensely from the " edge effect ", enabling it to form lush colonies in such places.

The Cramps - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Cramps are a punk rock / rockabilly band whose only permanent members have been Lux Interior (Erick Purkhiser) and Poison Ivy (Kristy Wallace), the lead singer and lead guitarist respectively.

The Cramps Poison Ivy: Yeah, and any kind of music, you have to really be into it, and you have to figure if you're NOT into something, it could be because you, the listener, haven't really jumped into that world or that culture. Poison Ivy: Yeah, that's probably what made me aware of it or tuned me into it, because my favorite guitarist is Link Wray, and I guess the thing I like in what he does is what I wanna do, too. Poison Ivy: I love the song "Peter Gunn," and that was an opportunity to do it. members.shaw.ca /thecramps/cosmicdebrisivy.htm

Poison Ivy from Guitar Player Magazine Dressed in jet black, the Cramps became favorites at New York’s CBGB’s and Max’s Kansas City, with Lux destroying up to a half-dozen mikes per night (an impressive feat since they were usually nestled down the front of his leather pants or deep down his throat) while Ivy looked on with a vaguely glazed expression. While the jackhammer rythyms of punk were proliferating in NYC, the Cramps dove into the deepest recesses of the rock’n’roll psyche for the most primal of all rythmic impulses — rockabilly - the sound of Southern culture falling apart in a blaze of shudders and hiccups. To play the music the Cramps make, you have to like a lot of the music that we collect and listen to, whereas if you were just a fan of the Cramps, that’s not important at all. members.shaw.ca /thecramps/gplayer.html

Queer Radio Review: The Cramps 22nd March 2002 Ivy sneered and casually chewed gum, while Lux deep-throated his high-ball microphone and writhed or lurched around the stage, all the time just managing to keep his scant knee high leather pants from exposing his genitals. The Cramps are definitively queer — they honestly embrace elements of cross-dressing, gender identity, sado-masochism and bondage and discipline - and all with a sense of joy that leaves everyone in their audience begging for more. The Cramps are the longest surviving punk rock era band in the world and in November 2001 celebrated their silver jubilee. www.queerradio.org /ReviewTheCramps.html

The Doctors Book of Home Remedies Poison Ivy and Oak If you're like most people allergic to poison ivy and poison oak (it's the most common allergy in the country, claiming at least half the population), you may not even know you've picked it up until the next day, when you are scratching like a hound at a rash of exquisite itchability. Urushiol oil, the active ingredient in poison ivy and poison oak, is "one of the most potent external toxins we know," says William L. Epstein, M.D. "The amount needed to cause a rash in very sensitive people is measured in nanograms, and it could take as little as 1 nanogram. Since products designed to prevent poison ivy and poison oak are under the scrutiny of the Food and Drug Administration, Dr. Epstein suggests that in the meantime you may want to spray your favorite deodorant or antiperspirant on your arms, legs, clothes, and pets before rolling in poison. www.mothernature.com /Library/bookshelf/Books/47/108.cfm

The Cramps In 2001, Lux Interior and Poison Ivy Rorschach celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Cramps by taking the matters of record-making into their own hands; they revived the long-dormant Vengeance label and reissued their entire post-I.R.S. album catalog (except for Flamejob) on expanded and remastered CDs and colored vinyl LPs. Between Ivy's twangy single-note leads, Bryan's shower-of-sparks reports of noise, Lux's demented banshee howling, and Miriam's primitive stomp, the Cramps didn't sound like anyone else on the budding New York punk scene, and the foursome soon began attracting both crowds and buzz with their shows at CBGB's and Max's Kansas City. Ivy and Lux hit the road for Ohio, and after living frugally in Akron for a year and a half, they made their way to New York City in 1975 in search of stardom. www.djangomusic.com /artist_bio.asp?id=R+++403684

Psychobilly bands - The Cramps Founding members Lux Interior (the psycho-sexual Elvis/Werewolf hybrid from hell) and guitar-slinging soulmate Poison Ivy (the ultimate bad girl vixen) are the architects of a wicked sound that distills a cross of swampwater, moonshine and nitro down to a dangerous and unstable musical substance. While the jackhammer rhythms of punk were proliferating in NYC, The CRAMPS dove into the deepest recesses of the rock’n’roll psyche for the most primal of all rhythmic impulses -- rockabilly -- the sound of southern culture falling apart in a blaze of shudders and hiccups. In the spring of 1976, The CRAMPS began to fester in a NYC apartment. www.wreckingpit.com /psycho/bands/cramps.php3

Poison Ivy Poison Ivy is the stage name of Kristy Wallace, singer guitarist with punk rock band The Cramps. The band was formed when Lux Interior[?] and Poison Ivy met during a college course on art and shamanism. The name originated in a dream and was initially "Poison Ivy Rorschach", the Rorschach referring to the Rorschach ink-blot test, however over the years it has been contracted to plain and simple "Poison Ivy". www.eurofreehost.com /po/Poison_Ivy.html

The Cramps The Cramps have gone through different line-ups over the years, with Lux Interior and Poison Ivy as the fixtures (and creators) of the band, have had the line-up over the past four years that includes Scott Chopper Franklin on bass and Harry Drumdini on drums. The Cramps are back in the flesh with a tour spreading across the United States in April and May. And for those who can relate to the 50's trash culture they portray, they are a must see experience. The Cramps have returned with a fresh serving of their edgey psychotic rock and roll in 2003 as they have unleashed Fiends of Dope Island on Vengence Records. www.geocities.com /SoHo/Bistro/4205/cramps.htm

Mary Sands The Cramps have been through several incarnations since the early 1970s when Lux Interior and Poison Ivy Rorsharch met and began to jam. Ivy's background influences were surf bands--and that fuzztone guitar is, to me, an accurate origin of the Cramps' sound. The Lords lit their keyboard on fire and kept playing, and then later The Cramps came onstage and boogied the house in all their raw, concentrated sexiness that you know is deep-down skilled from years of playing, but still comes across as fun and playful. www.jackmagazine.com /issue6/reviewsmsands.html

The one with Ivy on the cover is from 1989 and has several B&W photos. Displaying their disdain for the myth of musical progress, The CRAMPS reach back into the clammy womb of their prehistoric past to release HOW TO MAKE A MONSTER, a 2- disc 143 minute frightfest of previously unreleased rare tracks. www.carrollsweb.com /rockndog/cramps.htm

The Cramps Discography, Biography and Links at Mr Bill's I.R.S. Records Corner Erick took the stage name "Lux Interior" from an ad he saw describing an automobile ("Lux" as in the advertising abbrv for "Deluxe") and Kristy took the name "Poison Ivy Rorschach", from a dream she had (of course, everyone knows that a Rorschach Test is the ink blot quiz a shrink gives folks). The Cramps don't pummel and you won't pogo. Ivy played lead guitar while Bryan (and his subsequent replacements) played highly fuzzed and distorted guitar riffs, more than making up for the lack of a bass. www.irscorner.com /c/cramps.html

Got Cramps? (Metro Times Detroit) Lux Interior and Poison Ivy have been brewing their black magic voodoo beats since the mid-1970s when he picked her up hitchhiking, and the two proceeded to turn the musical world on its (severed) head. The Cramps have given up the love to the D-town, by enlisting two Motor City bands to open for them during the tour, the Gore Gore Girls and the Von Bondies. Of the garage rock resurgence, Ivy likes many bands but feels some are lacking the critical edge of the original ’60s and ’70s sleaze rock. www.metrotimes.com /editorial/story.asp?id=4922

The Cramps (Dorfdisco Berlin) All lunged forward as though the only fight that was worth fighting for was the honour of being crushed to death while Poison Ivy chugged out her rhythm guitar riffs, gazing mercilessly overhead and into the distance, underwear flashing. Yup, back from the grave, the crypt, the hallowed halls of some cheaply-made wax torture museum: Lux Interior, on vocals; Poison Ivy, on guitar; Harry Drumdini, pounding the skins; and shiny new recruit, Chopper Franklin, on bass. Whatever ‘it’ is. What the Cramps are about, which is pretty much a mockery of all that takes itself too seriously. www.dorfdisco.de /rev/2003/thecramps.phtml

Interview with The Cramps Snickering to myself as i climbed the stairs, it seems that they had just finished their soundcheck and IVY was signing a few autographs for the stagehands. THE CRAMPS are a band that have eluded my tape recorder for far too long. Do you feel as though you are part of the music scene in LA? The reason why I ask is because when you hear about the whole punk scene in New York in the late 70’s, early 80’s, you never hear about THE CRAMPS. www.stainmagazine.com /cramps.html

City Newspaper: Cult thing The Cramps' sound soon developed into a mutation of B-movie themes and exploitation film imagery, shoehorned with primal rock, blues, country, randb, and its bastard offspring, rockabilly, the most dangerous ingredient of all according to Ivy. The mission was clear and the newly formed Cramps began rehearsing in a cramped NYC apartment. If you're a novice Cramps fan, or completely in the dark, the band's new CD, How To Make A Monster, on their own Vengeance Records label, ain't for you. www.rochester-citynews.com /gbase/Gyrosite/Content?oid=oid:3010

Metromix. The Cramps have never cramped their style Within four years, they'd adopted the names Lux Interior and Poison Ivy Rorschach--the latter name flashes on Caller ID when the Cramps call for a phone interview--and started the band. But Ivy and Interior, who are happily married, survived the project with their relationship intact--just like they've survived decades of relentless touring and studio shrieking. The Cramps (also Buster Bateman on drums and Chopper Franklin on bass), who perform Saturday at the Vic Theatre, grew out of the desperate sneer of Jerry Lee Lewis and the raunchy enthusiasm of mid-'50s Elvis Presley. metromix.chicagotribune.com /music/mmx-041021-music-knopper,0,649650.story?coll=mmx-music_heds

First Aid for Poison Ivy - American Institute for Preventive Medicine - HealthWorld Online Poison ivy, poison oak and poison sumac are the most common plants that cause a skin rash.

The Cramps In the wake of that film, Screwed and Larry Flynt, it seems only appropriate that The Cramps' twisted twosome, Poison Ivy and singer Lux Interior, should have their own biographical epic fouling up cinema screens. But, as I inform the band's guitar goddess Poison Ivy on the horn from Texas, his spirit carries on. The Cramps' latest album, Big Beat From Badsville, carries a solemn dedication to the recently departed weirdo. www.montrealmirror.com /ARCHIVES/1997/111397/music3.html

TrouserPress.com :: Cramps Led by uninhibited vocalist Lux Interior (Ohio native Erick Purkhiser, who was clearly a student of Cleveland television's Ghoulardi) and guitarist Poison Ivy Rorschach (California native Kirsty Wallace), the band had its roots in Cleveland but was actually formed in New York. Poison Ivy plays her ass off, and Lux sings like he means it. Predating and never quite participating in the early '80s rockabilly revival, the Cramps used that genre's primal sound as a jumping-off point for a uniquely weird pastiche of rock'n'roll, psychedelia and a monster movie/junk food/swamp-creature aesthetic. www.trouserpress.com /entry.php?a=cramps

The Cramps The group was formed by vocalist Erick "Lux Interior" Purkhiser and guitarist Kirsty "Poison Ivy Rorschach" Wallace, who met in Sacramento and found they shared an affinity for obscure '50s rockabilly and surf records and junk culture. Following the 1983 live EP Smell of Female, the Cramps sued I.R.S. for lack of support; the case was settled out of court and resulted in the Cramps being released from the label. The Cramps' unique sound synthesizes classic rockabilly, touches of psychedelia, and lyrical fare devoted mostly to monster movies and sleazy sex into an infectious, gloriously tasteless conglomeration of American trash culture. www.findthefun.com /bands/b00/b0009008.htm

THE CRAMPS Joining the two original CRAMPS (mad-man-vocalist Lux Interior and the verrrry beautiful guitar goddess supreme, Poison Ivy Rorschach, are (ex-Weirdos) Nickey Alexander on drums and bassist Slim Chance (late of Panther Burns and Mad Daddys). IVY: No, no. Because when we first went to England we opened for the Police and we were fortunate that we got the tour and were critically acclaimed at first. IVY: Yeah, the only way that I could say that we're involved with "trash" is that if "trash" is what other people throw away because they didn't know how valuable it was. www.theroc.org /roc-mag/textarch/roc-09/roc09-4b.htm
