Formed in Akron Ohio in the middle 1970s, Lux Interior and Poison Ivy bonded over their mutual love of music and movie culture. They would relocate to New York City in the early days of the punk movement alongside fellow Ohioans The Dead Boys. Other members would include drummers Bryan Gregory (Beast) during their New York era, followed by Kid Congo Powers (The Gun Club, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Divine Horsemen, Angels of Light, Die Haut) who would join them when they settled in Los Angeles. Nick Knox served on the drums after Congo’s departure.

Lux Interior passed away February 4, 2009.
