the Cramps are not Psychobilly, they did call there music Rock and Roll, with the influence of the blues!

they even don't like it! just read the interviews! they point out that it has no groove for them and that it is not sexy..

http://suicidegirls.com/interviews/The+Cramps/ difference re: you guys still calling your music psychobilly, because a lot of critics sure do?

PI: It's weird. We used that word when we first started out in 1976 before we even had gigs we had posters for fake gigs we hoped to have which had psychobilly and rockabilly on them. I think psychobilly has evolved into a musical style now which kind of isn't what we are. Maybe it means different things to different people. There seems to be a style of music called psychobilly now and I think it's defined by a standup bass, a very speeded up pace which we don't do. I think our songs have a more sensuous tempo to our songs. I'm not sure what exactly defines psychobilly but it seems to have taken on a life on its own. But its not quite what we do.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.245.168.190 (talk) 22:21, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

In the inteview for Alternative Press (Nov 2004) Lux say about psychobilly:

We've heard other people say they where influenced by us, but when you listen to their music, it's some pop crab or it's hardcore punk or something. The thing that makes rockabilly unique is the sexuality of it-it's real groove. Psychobilly today doesn't really have a groove. It's as if (the bands) are tryin' to make their quota in the factory. It doesn't seem sexual to me.

-- It is respectless against the cramps to label their music today psychobilly and it is simply wrong to call them innovators of psychobilly, as they did use the term first in another context for another meaning that it has today. They did not innovate todays psychobilly! Of course they did influence it (without wanting it) but they did something complete different.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.135.82.180 (talk) 01:13, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Dead
Is he dead or not? Please stop updating that he is indeed dead without reliable sources. I am glad to see someone is taking them down. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Birdmadgrrl (talk • contribs) 23:47, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

I agree. The only "news" about this is some damned rumor from some blog on LimeWire. Sorry, I'm not buying this rumor as "fact." Cause it isn't until a reputable news organization reports on it.--Kulturvultur (talk) 00:04, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Seems to nail it. Pity his article is so short. -- Rodhull andemu  00:44, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Gutted, but it's true. Someone else add sources, I'm no good at that sort of thing

There's no doubt that he is dead. Nietzsche 2 (talk) 07:17, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Article name
Typically, an article is named after the common popular name for a person with a redirect from their proper name. For example, Calvin Coolidge is actually John Calvin Coolidge, etc., etc. By this standard, I think this article should be "Lux Interior" with "Erick Purkhiser" redirecting there.

 * I agree, Lux Interior is the most likely search-term for him so the page should be there per WP:COMMONAME. --JD554 (talk) 08:38, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Agreed, but there is little homogenity in naming articles in WP. I refer to many herpetological articles that are being changed to indicate the taxonomical nomenclature of an animal, rather than the common name(s). Regards Hamster Sandwich (talk) 17:44, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
 * If the page is called Lux Interior rather than Erick Purkhiser, why not put "Lux Interior" as the infobox title as well? I changed that and it got changed back. In Iggy Pop's page, the infobox reads "Iggy Pop", not "James Osterberg". In Joey Ramone's article, the infobox doesn't read "Jeffrey Hyman". And so on. JimboB (talk) 23:52, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I can't speak for why the other articles are that way, but his name is Erick Purkhiser and so that should go in the 'name' field of the infobox. There is an 'alias' field which is used for stage names, which Lux Interior is. As to why the article is called Lux Interior is because that is how he most well known and is the most likely search term per WP:COMMONAME. But if consensus is that the 'name' field of the infobox should contain Lux Interior, then I'll go with the flow. --JD554 (talk) 07:44, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I totally agree on the article being called Lux Interior, since most people knew him by that name. I believe the infobox title should also follow this rule, reflecting the name of the article, and not the person's birth name (which can always be featured in it as "Birth name"). But I'll wait for consensus before changing it again, then. JimboB (talk) 11:52, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
