GIG CANCELLED! WAAH!

Luxgigsm
So gutted to wake up this morning and check my messages to find out our gig is off! Apparently the venue lost it’s live music license and the council & police have threatened to shut them down!! There will still be DJ’s playing Cramps sounds, but just no Grande dame Live…So, that’s that… So disappointed! I have been practicing & learning the tracks, fasting to fit into my pvc dress, and have abstained from alcohol or any contact with humans out of fear of getting a cold!! Waah! Oh well, that’s rock & roll! We will be back soon! Watch this space! oxo gd

The Cramps Live At Napa State Mental Hospital

Well, it’s a week & one day exactly until our live show!! Our first in over a year! Wow! I must say, I am very excited and quite relaxed about it!! Of course you know we are playing the Lux Interior Memorial Party at the Royal Sovereign Sat Feb 2nd! And I can confirm, that we will be doing a few Cramps songs on the night! Yay! This will be a super fun show indeed!! I have always loved The Cramps, I had a massive Date With Elvis poster on my bedroom wall as a teenager. And I was very lucky to see them live in 1989, in New Orleans, at the legendary club – Tipitina’s. Some of you die hard Cramps fans will already be familiar with this footage. Shot in 1978 at The Napa State Mental Hospital in California. They were on tour with The Mutants, promoting their Gravest Hits album. I love this so much! Everybody is having a brilliant time. And what a cool thing to do! This is my fave track from the set – The Way I Walk. You can see a longer edit of their show here. And don’t forget to come see us next Sat in Hackney! It’s totally free! oxo gd

Grande Dame Play Lux Interior Memorial!

Luxgigsm Hi All! Hope your lucky 13 is rolling along splendidly! As I mentioned in the previous post – so far so good on this end! I wanted to post a reminder – as well as my new poster – ha ha – of our upcoming gig! A rare chance to see Grande Dame live at the Lux Interior Memorial Night, Feb 2nd at The Royal Sovereign in London – 64 Northwold Rd E5 8RL. We are not a Cramps cover band, but I can attest that we will be doing a track or two by them. It is an honor to be asked to play this night and pay tribute to Sir Lux of The Interior! Hope to see you there! Click the pic for more info! oxo gd
