Lux Interior Dies At 62

02.06.09

Without Lux Interior and the Cramps there is a fair chance that Dischord 
never would have come into existence. Thirty years ago Jeff and Ian went 
to see the Cramps play at Georgetown University's Hall of Nations and 
came out of the gig inspired to form a band. By that summer they were in 
The Slinkees and by fall they were playing in The Teen Idles. A year 
later The Teen Idles created Dischord and released their posthumous record.

We are deeply saddened by the news of Lux's death and want to send our 
thoughts to his family.

He was beyond inspirational...

He was the garbageman.

Thank you, Lux.

Love. Dischord
