Erick Perkhiser, the lead singer of The Cramps under some sub-culture nom de
plume, is an active and enthusiastic member of the Stereo Club of Southern
California, and is often involved in the club's competitions and other
activities when he is not on tour. He's very fond of experimenting with
non-standard film types and other kinds of image manipulation. Most of the
group's album covers are flat reproductions of Erick's 3D images.
