Lux Interior, founder of seminal psychobilly band The Cramps, died of a heart condition in California. The 60-year-old singer, whose given name was Erick Lee Purkhiser, was a long time force (along with his wife, Poison Ivy) on the New York rock scene, having formed The Cramps over 30 years ago. The band, known for its theatrical style and love of B horror movies, made a name for itself playing venues like CBGBs and Max's Kansas City.
