Synopsis
The Cramps is more than a band -- it's an enduring phenomenon. Notorious for its astonishing performance at the Napa State Mental Hospital, the band's blend of primal rock, kitsch horror, and incendiary live performances has resulted in genuine cult status. Featuring more than 70 photos, "The Cramps: A Short History of Rock n Roll Psychosis is a detailed examination of this band's strange and terrible journey, from the early days in Akron, playing its own mutant fusion of rockabilly, punk, and garage rock, to its current status as rock and roll icon with devoted fans around the world., Lux Interior (Erick Purkhiser) and Poison Ivy Rorschach (Kristy Wallace) formed The Cramps in the late 1970s. They quickly gained acclaim, notoriety, and hitmaker status for campy, sexy studio LPs like "Songs the Lord Taught Us" and "Gravest Hits, " as well as for their legendary, over-the-top concerts that brought to mind circus freak shows. This illustrated book with exclusive interviews presents a detailed examination of The Cramps' strange and terrible journey from sleazy, theatrical inventors of a mutant fusion of punk, garage rock, psychobilly, and rock 'n' roll to genuine cult icons with devoted fan bases around the globe., Lux Interior (Erick Purkhiser) and Poison Ivy Rorschach (Kristy Wallace) formed The Cramps in the late 1970s.

Formed in Akron, Ohio around the nucleus of married couple Lux Interior and Poison Ivy, the band spent three decades bringing their unique brand of fuzz-laden punkabilly horror to the masses. Lux s death in early 2009 instigated a long-overdue reappraisal of this unique group s legacy. Featuring exclusive interviews, this is the first fully endorsed history of the band.
