Who was the leader of The Cramps for over thirty years died on Wednesday 4 February cardiac arrest.
The musician was born sixty years ago under the name of Erick Purkhiser and his immortal band founded in 1976. The Cramps appeared with the first wave of punk bands that played at New York's CBGB, although it had been formed in California. However, the sound of this band had more to do with the rockabilly of the 50's with rock and roll of Chuck Berry taking other punk bands as inspiration. Pioneered the musical trend known as "psychobilly." The Cramps may be defined as a toxic version of Johnny Burnette, adding to his rockabilly roots, the rapidez with playing their instruments on stage and savagery of the singer, Lux Interior. Also highlighted the guitar or Poison Ivy Kristy Wallace who later became the wife of Interior and with whom he had two children.
The Cramps have left about fifteen discs for posterity and a legend that goes beyond his music.
