TAKE AS NEEDED FOR CRAMPS
New York’s legendary psychobilly outfit The Cramps is back, bringing their much-needed blend of horror imagery and rock and roll to the worshipping masses. They’re hitting the road to promote a brand new release, How to Make a Monster, a two-disc CD set featuring rare early recordings and live performances.
Also just out is a DVD, Live at Napa State Mental Hospital, a much coveted 1981 performance that finds lead crooner Lux sharing the stage (and mic!) with actual mental patients at said facility. Lo-fi and raw, it captures the essence of what The Cramps is really about.
If this just isn’t enough crampyness for you, then be sure to catch the gang playing live at a venue near you, as they kick off a fall tour to support the CD.
