We use GZ Digital Media in the Czech Republic for most of our stuff. We have been pleased with their work so far except for a couple of times. We have also pressed at Musicol Recordings in the USA and we are very pleased with their work: http://www.musicolrecording.com/ Andreas

Holy fuck...
It goes without sayin' that the Cramps are one o' the most trashy bands (and one o' my top favs of all time!) and without them turnin' me on this sleaze...well, shit I don't wanna think about that...fuckin' sad.
Does anyone have any other sources other than the Daily Swarm (which ain't the most journalistic)
Glad I got to see 'em live a few years back...sad I only got to see 'em once...

i think im going to listen to all of my cramps records in his honor. Lux was a true rock 'n' roll legend.

The Cramps were without a doubt, the biggest musical influence in my life...i hate to think where i'd be today without the music of The Cramps. They influenced my record collection, my musical direction, even my clothing selection back in the day. In fact, we even named our youngest daughter after Ivy... This friday, at 5PM EST, i'm gonna play an hour's worth of The Cramps music on CHRW 94.9 FM in London Ontario as my little tribute to my hero, Lux Interior! You can listen live on the web at: http://chrwradio.com/listen/ The show will be archived for 1 week at: http://chrwradio.com/listen/ There's a facebook event set up at: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/event.php?eid=75399253272&ref=mf Hey Man!......Fourth floor!!!.......Caveman.......Last Door!!!!! http://chrwradio.com/

This is really sad. Not only the Cramps have been one of the coolest bands ever, we have a lot to thank them for. If there was no Cramps, there would have been no Back From The Grave, no Crypt records, no Desperate Rock and Roll, no Garage revival in the 80's. They were some of the first people to re-discover so much coolness in music and culture from past eras. Obscure stuff form the 50's and 60's would probably still be in the hands of grey bearded collectors. Mike says some posts above "they owned any song they covered". I couldn't agree more with him. My pal Tutti from La Secta Violeta turned me on them back in 1983. I'll be always grateful for that.

Very sad news indeed, thankfully the music lives on.....

Very, very sad news!
I once drove from Lawrence, KS to Omaha, NE to see them. Then a year later, they played in Lawrence on the night of my birthday. Both times they put on an amazing show.
The Cramps have also turned all of us on to some of the most rockin' music ever, things we may not have even heard of if it weren't for them.
What else can be said? RIP Lux, thinking of Ivy.

I've got to be honest here...
The only other passing at this point that could rattle my cage as much would be Billy B. Childish - forbid it!
Rock & Roll died yesterday.

My fave band...my fave frontman...the two best shows I ever saw were the Toronto Cramps shows right before Smell of Female came out and right after, with the Date with Elvis tour holding a close third place.
Not just a frontman or a band, but a whole way of life, in a way....
February 5, 2009 7:09 AM CST
thats fuckin' bad!
February 5, 2009 6:34 AM CST
Stay sick, turn purple;
great big kiss to Ivy
February 5, 2009 6:24 AM CST
BAD SaD Horrible news! RIP Lux Interior.
February 5, 2009 5:42 AM CST

February 5, 2009 1:36 PM CST
Yes, yes you do. Same gig:

Great video, I spy Theee Bat in the audience as well.
February 5, 2009 7:44 AM CST
I changed the video's privacy setting. Hopefully it will work now.
I do believe I've been to the post-club thingy too. Best sushi I've ever had.

Video Unavailable. Boo. STATTO is great, I love the atmosphere. Here is a short video of my band at STATTO last year.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7MeFRUj6Yw&feature=channel_page Not really a song though, just the end of the set. Every time I have played at STATTO (or just been to see a band) almost everyone in the club goes to the izakaya by the station afterwards until 4am when the trains start running again.

Hey, that was cool! I actually got to see The Vivian Boys - at Club Statto. One year before this vid was posted.
February 5, 2009 5:41 AM CST
I love them, they only have one EP so far, you should track it down. I've filmed them quite a bit, I should post up some other videos some time.
Nao Nao (drums) is standing in as Atomic Suplexes Bass player this April when we play in Tokyo.
