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
