The band were formed in 1976 by a husband and wife, Lux Interior (aka Erick Purkheiser) and Poison Ivy Rorshach (aka Kristy Wallace). They quickly entered the CBGB scene in [[Big Applesauce|New York]], dominated by bands like [[The Ramones]]. Their first LP, ''Songs the Lord Taught Us'', is often considered their best release.
 
The Cramps are remembered for their amazing live shows, and their melding of punk, garage and rockabilly with their love of [[B -Movie|B Movies]], [[Exploitation Film|Exploitation Films]] and [[Viva Las Vegas|Las Vegas]] trash culture.
