| | The Cramps - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Songs The Cramps Taught Us series is a set of compilation albums of rock, rockabilly, and surf songs that The Cramps have found particularly influential. | | | In the late 1970s, the Cramps performed regularly in New York at places like CBGB's and Max's Kansas City, releasing two indie singles produced by Alex Chilton at Ardent Studios in Memphis in 1977 before being signed by Miles Copeland to the young I.R.S. Records label. | | | With the release of 1986's "A Date With Elvis", the Cramps added a bass guitar to the mix with an increased focus on sexual double entendre. |

| | The Cramps |
| | One that we agreed on was the Cramps and B-52s. | | | Since the Cramps record their stuff live in the studio anyway -- there's not that much difference between this and a studio album like "Songs the Lord Taught Us." The crowd seemed to be supportive enough to coax a lively performance out of the band. | | | The point about the Cramps is they saw this happening with the punk scene and tried to reflect the things they liked in music. |

| | Cramps band members Lux Interior, vocals, born Erick Lee Purkhiser; ""Poison Ivy"" Rorschach, guitar, born Kirsty Marlana Wallace; Bryan Gregory, guitar; and his sister, Pam Balam, drums, later moved to New York, where they were in the emerging punk scene. | | | The Cramps' early work was recorded at Sun Records studio. | | | Their early singles and debut album blended the frantic rush of rockabilly with a dose of 60's garage-band flavour and a love of ghoulish b-movies. |

| | Psychobilly bands - The Cramps |
| | The Cramps have a new album out April 13th on Vengeance records | | | 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. | | | Now, a year after launching their own label Vengeance Records with six classic re-issues, The CRAMPS are releasing their first new album in over five years. |

| | It's true the Cramps is one-dimensional musically, generally mixing a pounding beat with a twangy riff for its signature sound, but with a continual flow of classics to its credit -- "I Was a Teen-age Werewolf," "Goo Goo Muck" -- it's hard to argue with the band's formula. | | | Whether you go for the music or the antics, there is no doubt that the Cramps remains one of the most thrilling and fun bands you're ever likely to see. | | | Still, it is as live performers that this band has made its reputation, and the band is second to none. |

| | VH1.com : The Cramps : Biography |
| | In 1981, the Cramps filed suit against I.R.S. Records over unpaid royalties; the court case prevented the band from recording new material for two years, and when they returned to America's record racks, it was with a live album, 1983's Smell of Female, recording during a pair of dates at New York City's Peppermint Lounge. | | | 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. | | | A new Cramps album followed in 2003, Fiends of Dope Island, which (of course) featured yet another personal change, with Chopper Franklin becoming the band's latest bassist. |

| | This two-CD set features one disc of the band's first-ever recordings, and a second of live performances at punk wombs CBGB's and Max's Kansas City; all 46 tracks are from between '76 and '78. | | | Naturally--given that the Cramps were a broke band living in a hole-in-the-wall on New York City's east side--the production quality is decidedly poor and low quality, looking to capture the primal feel of early rock 'n' roll, and blues. | | | This new Cramps release documents the very beginnings of a band founded on a dream that'd never before been had. |

| | The Cramps returned to the living dead in late '85 with a wonderfully smarmy single ("Can Your Pussy Do the Dog?"), followed by an all-new sex-crazed studio album, A Date With Elvis, dedicated to Ricky Nelson. | | | Like a seance or voodoo session, the Cramps' music needs time to work its spell, and so the albums make a better introduction. | | | Amid rotating guitarists and disputes with their record label, the Cramps temporarily submerged. |

| | These days, the Cramps sound more alive than they have in a long while, which may or may not be a compliment for a band preoccupied with the morbid. | | | But the Cramps, for all their worn-out rockabilly solutions and grave-digging references, are still able to reinvent themselves every time around, if only by slightly altering their musical approach. | | | This is one of those really great Cramps albums. |

| | Though THE CRAMPS are obviously inspired by late 50's - early 60's music (Ventures, Rocka-billy, blues), they possess all the classic elements of a true, honest and pure Rock & Roll band. | | | THE CRAMPS, one of punk rock's forerunners, have remained true to their roots, which is pure twisted Rock & Roll. | | | ROC: The Cramps are such a legendary band, it's hard to understand why you would have problems with record labels. |

| | The quality of the audio and video of this dvd is pretty basic and you have to remember it's a one camera, one microphone, black and white, 1978 vintage recording. | | | An absolute must for the leigons of CRAMPS fans and the perfect andidote to the sterile, manufactured pap of 'Pop Idol.' The footage should be shown daily to primary school children and the future of music may just be assured...Back to the CRAMPS...It is written. | | | However, if you're a Cramps fan then this DVD is a LOT of fun and you've probably been waiting for many years for it's release, like me, after seeing rough quality VHS tapes. |

| | [X] : A Graveyard Smash |
| | In keeping with the dark and spooky, yet still seductive and fun-loving themes of their songs, the Cramps have made several music videos over the years paying homage to the underground or often times under-appreciated monster, science fiction, and horror movies of the past, which unfortunately have not been seen by too many people themselves. | | | Fans of the Cramps and old monster movies alike are in for fun treat (or trick) this Sunday, when the band plays a very special Halloween concert at San Francisco’s historic (and perhaps haunted?) Warfield Theater. | | | With the group’s 30th year of existence rapidly approaching like a spectral banshee over a mist filled cemetery, the Cramps have just released “How To Make A Monster,” a two disc collection of demos, rehearsals, and live performances from the early days in their musical laboratory. |
