In this episode, I'm talking with Fur Dixon where we talk about her formative influences, how her time with The Cramps shaped her identity, reconciliation, mistakes and unburdening herself from the past to release her creativity.
Fur became the first ever live bass player with The Cramps on the Date With Elvis tour, having started playing in wild LA rock n roll bands such as The Whirlybirds, Hollywood Hillbillys at around 20 years old.
She made the brave decision to leave The Cramps following the final show of the UK/EU tour and embark on her own career and life.
Fur has never left rock n roll far behind and her new band, WTFUKUSHIMA, is a real powerhouse of tight, rock n roll with a line up to die for: Fur on guitar and vocals, Dusty Watson (The Sonics) on drums, Paul Roessler (The Screamers, 45 Grave) on keyboards, Dave Provost (Dream Syndicate) on bass and Bernard Yin (Fuzztones, BellRays) on lead guitar.
