Genre: Rock
Day: Saturday

Wikipedia sez: “Roky Erickson (born Roger Kynard Erickson on July 15, 1947) is an American singer, songwriter, harmonica player and guitarist from Texas. He was a founding member of the 13th Floor Elevators. One of rock and roll’s most famous cult figures and burnouts, Erickson is perhaps as well-known for his erratic personal behavior as for his musical talents.”

Roxy Erickson was one of the founders of the psychedelic rock sound you hear so often watching bad telemovies about the sixties. He was also a strong user of LCD and marijuana, and after being arrested and pleading insanity, he was sent to a state hospital where he was given electroshock treatment. Yikes. From what I’ve heard of his music, it’s strangely familiar yet one-of-a-kind in a way I can’t describe. Check it out, but with that said I doubt I will.

Likelyhood of seeing at Coachella: Doubt it.
