It was obvious from watching Mick Cancer when he fronted Pink Slip
Daddy that he owed a debt of gratitude to Lux Interior. I have only
fond memories of a New Year's Eve bloody nose when my face got in the
way of his boot as he went airborne during a Pink Slip Daddy
performance at the Khyber Pass. As I learned more Philly music history,
I found out that Mick and his first band, Sickidz were friends, not
just fans of the Cramps, which Mick documented so beautifully shortly
after Lux's death:

Sickidz will be honoring the late Mr. Interior in Philly on Sunday. The
event will feature the music of the Cramps, a showing of their infamous
concert at Napa State Mental Institute, never before seen video footage
and shared recollections.
A memorial service of Crampsong will be performed by The Sickidz.
A portion of the proceeds will be donated to http://www.bestfriends.org
in Lux's memory.
Sickidz
