Lux & Ivy: The Cramps Love Story (Full Documentary)

Video Description

Take a trip into the world of THE CRAMPS! This full length documentary details the HISTORY of THE CRAMPS, from the origins of Lux and Ivy's creative leanings, to their relationship, and wild stories from their 20+ years leading the legendary rock n' roll band The Cramps. Journey from childhood to CBGBs, how Lux and Ivy met, all the records they made, the problems with IRS Records, and all the band members that came and went. To Beverly Hills 90210, and the untimely death of Lux Interior. Thank you to DAVID J (Bauhaus, Love and Rockets) for appearing in this video, and to everyone who is commenting about their experiences with the band. The stories in the comments on this video are fascinating- I highly recommend reading them.
