Lux created the monster that was The Cramps together with Poison Ivy (Kristy Wallace) in the early 1970s. Legend has it Lux and a friend picked her up as a hitchhiker and they remained together ever since. After moving to New York they became an integral part of the scene that surrounded the notorious CBGB‘s. The Cramps’ music differed from much of the New York punk scene however, with its thick coating of B-movie inspired lyrics and tongue in cheek sexual innuendo.
