Journey to the Centre of the Cramps
The Cramps - Book - by Dick Porter
(2021)
More than a band, the Cramps are a uniquely special rock‘n’roll
phenomenon that has endured for over 35 years. Formed in the creative
maelstrom of late 1970’s New York by Ohio natives Lux Interior (Erick
Purkhiser) and Poison Ivy Rorschach (Kirsty Wallace), the Cramps not
only originated the psychobilly subgenre but also left behind an
unsurpassable legacy of blisteringly good, primal rock’n’roll. Based
upon work and materials compiled for the acclaimed and now much sought
after 2007 Cramps biography 'A Short History of Rock'n'Roll
Psychosis', Journey to the Centre of the Cramps goes far beyond being a
revised and updated edition: Completely overhauled, rewritten and vastly
expanded, it now represents the definitive work on the group.
In addition to unseen interview material from Ivy, Lux and other former
band members, Journey to the Centre of the Cramps also sees the Cramps'
story through to its conclusion, recounting Lux's unexpected death in
2009, the subsequent dissolution of the group and their enduring
legacy. The Cramps' history, influences and the cast of characters in
and around the group are likewise explored in far greater depth.
Features unseen first-hand interview material from Lux Interior and
Poison Ivy. A wealth of new interview material with former band members
and other key players in the band's history and never before seen/rare
photographs and ephemera to help illustrate the book.
