Roky Erickson - Luxor, Koln, Germany - 12.12.2010 (ProShot DVD)





Mr Erickson was the frontman of the influential psichedelic rock pioneers The 13th Floor Elevators. He, as a solo artist and with his former band, is an influence to everybody from The Cramps to The Entombed passing through Sonic Youth.

His life would give a movie (in fact it did), plus his mad lyrics are psycho enough to drive Michael Myers away fearing for his life, perfect for Halloween, you can't beat a mad genius. And some of the best song titles ever to be put on a record sleeve.

If you don't know him, just go the wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roky_Erickson
