If you'd ever seen Lux Interior's exploits fronting the Cramps, then you'll know it was a very, very full life that sadly ended Wednesday due to a preexisting heart condition. He was 60.

The psychobilly pioneers — led by Interior (nee Erick Lee Purkhiser) and his wife, sneering guitarist Poison Ivy — formed in the mid-'70s, making their reputations with their kinky, corrosive live acts generally culminating in a writhing, half-naked, high-heel-rocking Interior destroying something or other with his bare hands, teeth, head — whatever was closest to the offending object, usually. (The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has enshrined a kick drum he once impaled with his skull.) The Cramps broke in New York, eventually staging perhaps their most infamous performance in 1978 at Napa's California State Mental Hospital before finally moving to Los Angeles in the early '80s.

Video from their delightful hospital visit is featured below, and Spout notes also that the late singer is featured among the voice talent behind Los Campeones de la Lucha Libre, an animated comedy screening tonight at the Egyptian and pitting Mexican wrestlers against apocalyptic barbarians against monsters. An ideal wake, to be sure. RIP.
