There are two artist with the name Kramer.

1. Kramer is a legendary artist, producer and former owner of the now defunct Shimmy Disc record label. He has produced such bands as Low, King Missile, Deep Jimi and the Zep Creams, Urge Overkill and Galaxie 500. The first band he played in was with New York Gong, where he first met the legendary guitarist/pyschedelic pothead pixie Daevid Allen. Bill Laswell played bass in that band for a time. Then, in the early 80s, he teamed up with Eugene Chadbourne and created a whole new pyschedelic sound of new wave and rockabilly. Shockabilly only released two recordings before disbanding.
Kramer, setup his now famous studio in New York called Noise New York and some of the bands on his fledgeling new label were astonished at the quality of sounds that Kramer could produce in his rinky dink little studio.
In the mid 80s, while working with Don Fleming in a band called B.A.L.L, he met actress and performance artist Ann Magnuson, whom he'd seen in a few one off broadway performances. He then recruited Dave Rick on guitar(also of King Missile fame) and longtime Shimmy Disc alumn David Licht on drums and Bongwater was born. Like, King Missile, the band managed to score a few college radio hits in "The Power of Pussy" and "Folk Song", both from The Power of Pussy album. However, as with many bands, egos and money got in the way and the band, according to Kramer's own liner notes in the Bongwater Box-set, " broke up into a million pieces, destroying everything in its path..."
...Including Shimmy Disc itself unfortunately...
Kramer has worked with some legendary musicians as well. He collaborated with Pip Pyle, Hugh Hopper, and Daevid Allen in 1999 for a group they called Brainville. He recorded two albums each with Gong guru Daevid Allen and with Soft Machine graduate Hugh Hopper. Also, on the Shimmy Disc release commemorating the 20th anniversary of the summer of love, Kramer enlisted the voices of Allen Ginsberg and Tuli Kupferburg.
In the early 2000's Kramer moved Noise New York to Miami and remains active in the music business.
