Win or lose, I'm going to see the Cramps on Wednesday!
Oh I know they're old as sin and I've already seen them like eight times, and they always do "Surfin' Bird" for an encore, but can you say "catharsis" baby?
Last summer I saw them at the Crystal Ballroom, it was over 100 degress and I was black and blue after the show...but it was great! They still do a great version of "Psychotic Reaction", how apropo it might seem at the time!

1. I've seen them dozens of times

they used to play Boston a lot in the '80s. I saw them in London and Amsterdam too.

They must be getting long in the tooth...

2. pretty much so...
It's getting to the point where Lux Interior no longer needs makeup to look like a zombie! :) But Ivy still looking good at way off there up on stage!
They still sound good though, last show might have been the best yet (they used to kinda suck in the old days) and Lux was positively garrulous the last time...At any rate, it was entertaining, and that's the bottom line!

3. Good times...Hey, baby, let's get fucked up!
I have seen the Cramps twice; once in 1982 or so, and once about three years ago.

Now get this (this was the night I finally accepted that I'm getting old): the last time I saw the Cramps, I went with a friend and a couple of his co-workers...and none of those co-workers had been born yet the first time I saw the Cramps.

:scared:
