Sad sad news.  RIP Lux.  I had some great times seeing the Cramps and listening to the Cramps over the years.

Sad news indeed. I had at least a dozen of the best nights of my life seeing Lux and the band whip a crowd into a frenzy. He was one of the best frontmen I ever laid eyes on

That's sad news, he was an incredible front man. I always wished the Cramps would've had a Love Shack type of hit, just to keep the income always rolling in. I must have played Psychedelic Jungle 500 times growing up.

Psychedelic Jungle was great…."you better leave your mouth at home…."

I remember seeing the cover of Bad Music for Bad People in the mall record store before I ever got into punk rock and underground music.  I thought it was so cool looking.  Probably another year or so before I ever heard the Cramps and got into all that stuff, but just seeing that cover opened my eyes a little to the braver world that awaited me.  I don't know why, but I just so vividly remember seeing that record jacket for the first time.

Wow. Very sad news indeed.  I feel very fortunate to have seen the Cramps, i think it was 03 or 04 at the 9:30 club.  What a wild and great show.  Lux was such an incredible showman.  My thoughts go out to Ivy.

From Pylon's Facebook and MySpace pages:

This past Monday evening, Randy Bewley had a heart attack while driving his van on Barber Street in Athens, GA. He was taken to Athens Regional Medical Center. Today, our bandmate and brother passed away at a little before 5 p.m. with his family and friends at his side. He will be missed, even as we celebrate his life and creativity. His guitar sound was as special as he was and always will be. Randy's guitar work defined not only a generation of sound but Randy himself. His visual art, painting and photos, combined with his signature sound formed a loose set of boundaries that helps understand him. His quiet devotion to family and friends will become a benchmark for those he leaves behind.
