Roky Erickson birthday tribute w/ Eve Monsees, Mike Buck, Tjarko Jean, Speedy Sparks, Johnny X, Sumner Erickson, Freddie Steady Krc, Billie Buck

Despite shucking his mortal hide in 2019, Roger Kynard Erickson (Ro + Ky = Roky) turns 77 years eternal on this same show date. Dallas incarnated, but raised and departed from South Austin, the Travis High alum left school with his namemaker already written. The following year, 1966, his feral yawp on “You’re Gonna Miss Me” led the 13th Floor Elevators to a third-eye plateau second only to Pink Floyd in psychedelia. Erickson’s family, band, and myriad friends thus gather to pay fealty to old weird Austin’s Buddy Holly with the likes of “Starry Eyes,” “I Walked With a Zombie,” and “Two-Headed Dog.” – Raoul Hernandez
