- "Hurricane Fighter Plane" performed by The CRAMPS
Written by : Rick Barthleme, Steve Cunningham, Mayo Thompson
Recorded in January 1977 at Max's Kansas City - New York City
From a single of dubious origin
The CRAMPS are :
Lux Interior : vocals
Ivy Rorschach : guitar
Bryan Gregory : guitar
Miriam Linna : drums
The song was originally recorded by the band Red Crayola, and appeared on their album "The Parable of Arable Land" in 1967
UA-cam needs another CRAMPS video like the desert needs another bucket of sand...for that I sincerely apologise.
That said, I'm simply using this as an opportunity to say "Thank You" to Miriam Linna.
Miriam spent a year of her young life making an important contribution to American music history.
As co-founding member of The CRAMPS, she helped draw the band's blueprint, pour the foundation, and set the cornerstone for what would become America's greatest rock and roll band.
She also learned how to play the traps (drums) in the process.
During the band's infancy, Miriam performed some forty shows, including their debut at CBGB.
She was present when Richard Robinson produced The CRAMPS first formal demo recording.
In addition; Robinson's publication Rock Scene gave her and the band several consecutive write-ups during 1977, even before the band had ventured outside New York City...we were forewarned of the unknown.
Miriam also appeared in the Amos Poe film "The Foreigner" in 1977 along with her band mates as thugs.
Not too shabby for a years effort huh?
Upon her departure from The CRAMPS, she inherited The Flamin' Groovies Fan Club from Greg Shaw, and became a gifted and noted music journalist.
She also published along with her husband Billy Miller; seven hi-octane, action-packed issues of KICKS magazine.
They also co-founded Norton Records together, and helped artist like Andre Williams and the late Hasil Adkins become household names.
Norton currently publishes the new book by Nick Tosches "Save the Last Dance for Satan".
Thanks Miriam for all you have done, and continue to do.
Between you and The CRAMPS, you opened many doors for me which I continue to walk through and explore.
You both kept me from becoming culturally bankrupt.
Thanks again Miriam, you're truly "The Rockinist Gal in the Galaxy" !

Timeless Greatness
I've got this in it's picture sleeve, mint condition. Ultra rare it says & sleeve is stamped number 64.
Thanks for the swell comment. It's through her hard work that keeps American roots music alive and allows a younger generation of music fans to discover and explore it for themselves. Currently one half of America's population was born after 1976, and most seem to think rock music started with Led Zeppelin, or Sting of The Police.
Miriam and Billy help keep a level playing field by making this great music prior to the British Invasion fresh and fascinating for the uninitiated new fans.
There are some of us still breathing who heard Bill Haley and the Comets play live, back in the 1950s. Of course, he was covering Louis Jordan, arguably the true pioneer of rock 'n' roll. Below the roots, there are deeper roots. Gus Cannon's Jug Stompers. We're all grateful (like the Dead) for Miriam and her beloved Billy.
Very cool, never seen most of these pics. Some of the greatest nights of my life started with a Cramps show.
Awesome pics - stay sick
Personally, I think that the more Cramps videos there is on UA-cam, the merrier.
That said, you're absolutely right about the sung and unsung contributions of Miriam Linna.
Her contributions to the literary world, through her own writings and spotlighting the talented works of others, is quite an accomplishment on its own. Add to that, the fabulous Norton Records label and you've got a pathway to world domination.
I want the entire UA-cam channel to be CRAMPS music
Very rare photos! Thanks!
Thank you . 👍
This is too great to even exist.
And too great it shall be. As you wish. It is a good fuckin' song ain't it?
Best band ever
@@richardvollin yes and a brilliant slideshow sie never seen before
RnR 🍻💊🍻
Timeless perfection messed up by joining the Mel Bay chord of the week club
I bought this 45 from an unknown person and got syphilis from it
My case of syphilis hasn't abated since I first witnessed the band perform at the Atlantis Club in Washington, D.C.
The dose with the most 💃💃💃
so happy for you.
I effin love this song
So do I
The Hurricane shot down more axis(luffewaffe) aircraft than the Spitfire!..
Lux's early vocals remind me of Richard Hell!,...with the Heartbreakers
....It's on "How To Make a Monster" , as I recall...there's a show from Max's , I think this same one , on that set. It's also on a couple of boots , this same version , and there was another live version , from Italy , on a boot called "Teenage Werewolf". Lux said that The Red Krayola was one of his favorite bands from The 60's.
Didn't see this song listed on my two-disc set of "How to Make a Monster"...
Red Krayola was another of those Houston bands that were on a whole different plane of performance .
@@richardvollin Mine went missing for a while....There is an early set with Miriam on it , but maybe I remembered incorrectly about "Hurricane Fighter Plane" being on it. Lithium Xmas , from Dallas , did a great version , too , ca. '86.
awesome pictures......amazing band.....
they were in the process of becoming the CrAmPs until Knic Knox came along....
They were ALWAYS in the process of becoming The CRAMPS
Long ago. Meanwhile i don´t know what to think about Miriam ...

Ivy and the Lewis....nice
it could be on the secret life of the cramps maybe i would have to check
