Whatever happened to.....The Cramps

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I always loved The Cramps and can't wait for their next stop in the neighbourhood. Or for another album, compilation, etc :innocent:

I have seen them on all their major tours since 85 and the last time they played in Orlando at HOB.I was lucky enough to meet them and they signed a few things for me.
Extremely pleasant and slightly eccentric...mind you,they turned me on to The Chesterfield Kings.

*Edit: I actually made the wraps (folding up squares of paper, back before everyone started using resealable bags) for the guy on the crew who was their 'chemist' that night :innocent:

I love the Date With Elvis period & saw them at Leeds uni on that tour. The live album from that era (Live in New Zealand?) is superb. 8)

They were due to release a dvd of live stuff and their videos last year and also they were re-recording Gravest Hits for an expanded version of the original album.

I like a good moshpit at times, but I never dare to enter one filled with Psycho-/Rockabillies... they're way too heavy for me!

After thrashing around in the pit for years with The Cramps it was strange as the punches did not hurt.......until the next morning,when you looked as if you had been given a body massage by the National Front!!!
