Bridging the Gap~ December 25th, 2019: A Cramps Christmas

By Nick Yee (dj mr.nick)
Published December 25, 2019 at 6:00 PM HST

Doing this Christmas Day a little different and turning the selection to the late Lux Interior, frontman for the psychobilly group The Cramps. The Cramps were a wonderful, yet under-appreciated blend of rockabilly, garage, and punk music filled with fuzzy guitars, stripped down drum and raunchy lyrics. Lux often performed nearly nude and in drag. But a little know fact was that he had a soft spot for Christmas and often curated mixtapes for friends... one of which will make up the body of this show, and was originally called Jeezus Fuck, It's Christmas (though I'm not going to say that on air).

Nick Yee’s passion for music developed at an early age, as he collected jazz and rock records pulled from dusty locations while growing up in both Southern California and Honolulu. In college he started DJing around Honolulu, playing Jazz and Bossa Nova sets at various lounges and clubs under the name dj mr.nick. He started to incorporate Downtempo, House and Breaks into his sets as his popularity grew, eventually getting DJ residences at different Chinatown locations. To this day, he is a fixture in the Honolulu underground club scene, where his live sets are famous for being able to link musical and cultural boundaries, starting mellow and building the audience into a frenzy while steering free of mainstream clichés.
