The Cramps were an American punk band, formed in 1976 and active until 2009. The band split after the death of lead singer Lux Interior. Their line-up rotated much over their existence, with the husband and wife duo of Interior and lead guitarist and occasional bass guitarist Poison Ivy the only permanent members. The addition of guitarist Bryan Gregory and drummer Pam Ballam resulted in the first complete lineup in April 1976.
Smell of Female is the first live release by the American garage punk band The Cramps. The EP was recorded at The Peppermint Lounge on February 25–26, 1983 and issued on I.R.S. Records the same year.
