the legendary Roky Erickson has recovered.. it almost brought me to tears when i read that last year. apparently he’s getting better and better by the day.
now it seems he’s ready to tour again, after over 20 years in reclusion, even outside of his native Texas. and what’s even more sensational - he’s coming to Europe to play as well!
if you haven’t already - please check out his “The Evil One” album. it’s music history.
