The Cramps was an American punk band formed in 1976 and disbanded in 2009. The husband and wife duo of Lux Interior and Poison Ivy were the only permanent members throughout their existence. Lux Interior's death led to the disbandment of the band.

Scott Franklin (Scott "Chopper" Franklin), Jen Hanrahan,and Sean Yseult.

The Cramps had a rotating line-up but remained influential in the punk scene. They are known for their unique blend of rockabilly and punk music.

In June 1978, The Cramps played a free concert for patients at the California State Mental Hospital in Napa, California. The Cramps were at the peak of their engaging sound. They had just finished recording "Gravest Hits." Midway through the second song, a young woman commands the stage and begins sharing the mic with Lux. By the time the "Human Fly" is played a real ho-down is occurring on and off stage with the audience members dancing about, grabbing at the mic and embracing each other - all of which adds to the spectacle of this once-in-a-lifetime performance! Songs include: "Mystery Plane," "The Way I Walk," "Human Fly," "Domino," "Garbage Man," and more.
