The Cramps
Blood Circus (band)
Blood Circus was an early, short-lived grunge band from Seattle, Washington.
The Cramps
The Cramps were an American garage punk band, formed in 1976 and active until 2009.
 The band split after the death of lead singer Lux Interior.
 Their line-up rotated much over their existence, with the husband-and-wife duo of Interior and lead guitarist and occasional bass guitarist Poison Ivy comprising the only permanent members.
 The addition of guitarist Bryan Gregory and drummer Pam Ballam resulted in the first complete lineup in April 1976.
Big Beat from Badsville
Big Beat from Badsville is the seventh studio album (and 12th album overall) by the American garage punk band the Cramps.
 It was released in 1997 on Epitaph Records.
 It was recorded and mixed at engineer Earle Mankey's house in Thousand Oaks, California, in May 1997.
 It was self-produced by Poison Ivy and Lux Interior.
 It is notable as the only Cramps album to consist solely of original songs. Primal Rock Therapy
Primal Rock Therapy was the only studio album by Seattle grunge band Blood Circus.
 Sub Pop originally released it as an EP in 1989, but it was reissued in 1992 with seven extra tracks, including the band's first non-album single and five unreleased tracks from 1989. Fur Dixon
Fur Dixon is an American singer, songwriter, bassist, guitarist and rock 'n' roll musician.
 She co-founded the Hollywood Hillbillys with guitarist and then-husband Gary Dickson in the mid-1980s and was the first bass player in any lineup of The Cramps to appear live in concert with the band.
 She joined the band for their 1986 UK "A Date With Elvis Tour."
 She appears on The Cramps studio album "A Date With Elvis", credited as a member of The McMartin Preschool Choir, singing backing vocals on the track "People Ain't No Good." Dormancy
Dormancy is a period in an organism's life cycle when growth, development, and (in animals) physical activity are temporarily stopped.
 This minimizes metabolic activity and therefore helps an organism to conserve energy.
 Dormancy tends to be closely associated with environmental conditions.
 Organisms can synchronize entry to a dormant phase with their environment through predictive or consequential means.
 Predictive dormancy occurs when an organism enters a dormant phase "before" the onset of adverse conditions.
 For example, photoperiod and decreasing temperature are used by many plants to predict the onset of winter.
 Consequential dormancy occurs when organisms enter a dormant phase "after" adverse conditions have arisen.
 This is commonly found in areas with an unpredictable climate.
 While very sudden changes in conditions may lead to a high mortality rate among animals relying on consequential dormancy, its use can be advantageous, as organisms remain active longer and are therefore able to make greater use of available resources. Ox Baker
Douglas A. Baker (April 19, 1934 – October 20, 2014) was an American professional wrestler and actor, better known professionally as Ox Baker.
 He was famous for his finishing move, the Heart Punch, sometimes called the "Hurt Punch", after Baker's famous catchphrase "I love to hurt people!"
.
 He appeared in several movies including "Blood Circus" and "Escape from New York". Nick Knox
Nick Knox (born Nicholas George Stephanoff, c.1958, USA) was the drummer with the psychobilly band The Cramps.
 He replaced Miriam Linna in 1977 and left in 1991.
 Knox was with The Cramps during the peak of their worldwide popularity when they toured Europe extensively in 1986 with the "A Date with Elvis" tour.
 He even drafted in his cousin, Mike Metoff (aka Ike Knox), during the preceding European tour in 1984.
 Knox was recognised as the drummer who brought a tightness to the Cramps sound and stayed longer than any other drummer in the band.
 Before joining The Cramps he was a member of protopunk band the Electric Eels.
 Contrary to many sources, Knox lost an eye in the 1980s after "doing dope.
 That kind of scared everybody.
 We didn’t do it anymore."
, as it was explained in George Petros' interview with The Cramps. Blood Circus (film)
Blood Circus is an American science fiction movie, with a professional-wrestling theme, produced in 1985.
 The movie was produced by Baltimore-native Santo Victor Rigatuso, also called Robert "Bob" Harris, who promoted it through infomercials for his mail-order "Santo Gold" jewelry business. Sub Pop 200
