Nick Knox

Nick Knox (born Nicholas George Stephanoff, c.1958, USA) was the drummer with the psychobilly band The Cramps. He replaced Miriam Linna in 1977 and left in 1991. Knox was with The Cramps during the peak of their worldwide popularity when they toured Europe extensively in 1986 with the "A Date with Elvis" tour. He even drafted in his cousin, Mike Metoff (aka Ike Knox), during the preceding European tour in 1984. Knox was recognised as the drummer who brought a tightness to the Cramps sound^[1] and stayed longer than any other drummer in the band. Before joining The Cramps he was a member of protopunk band the Electric Eels. Knox lost an eye in the 80s after a rare infection^[1]
