Rockshow Episode 162 Roky Erickson
Rockshow Episode 162\nRoky Erickson\n\nRoger Kynard "Roky" Erickson (July 15, 1947\xa0\u2013 May 31, 2019) was an American musician and singer-songwriter. He was a founding member and the leader of the 13th Floor Elevators and a pioneer of the psychedelic rock genre.\nErickson was interested in music from his youth, playing piano from age five and taking up guitar at 10. He attended school in Austin and dropped out of Travis High School in 1965, one month before graduating, rather than cut his hair to conform to the school dress code.Erickson wrote his first songs, "You're Gonna Miss Me" and "We Sell Soul", at age 15, and started a band with neighborhood friends which would evolve into his first notable group, the Spades.The Spades scored a regional hit with "We Sell Soul"; the song is included as an unlisted bonus track on Erickson's 1995 album All That May Do My Rhyme and was adapted as "Don't Fall Down" by the 13th Floor Elevators for their debut album. The Spades' original version of "You're Gonna Miss Me", later a hit for the 13th Floor Elevators, was featured on the compilation album The Best of Pebbles Volume 1.\n\nhttps://www.rokyerickson.com/\n\nhttps://www.newyorker.com/culture/postscript/the-pure-weirdness-of-the-psychedelic-rock-icon-roky-erickson/amp\n\nhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/7hCsRnXtcbez8msLPfjbkz\n\nhttps://m.facebook.com/rokyericksonTM/\n\nhttps://m.imdb.com/name/nm2227718/\n\nhttps://mobile.twitter.com/rokyericksontm\n\n#musicvideo #musicstudio #musiclover #musiclife #musicindustry #musiclovers #musiccover #musician#Alicecooper #musicproducer #musicproduction #musicians #musicislife #musicartist #musicphotography #musicvideos #Music #drummer #Guitar \n@drummers @spotify @twitter #grammy @grammy @psychedelic rock \n#psychedelic rock @Roky Erickson #Roky Erickson\n#goldalbum #Platinumalbum @Platinum @gold \n\nPlease follow us on Youtube,Facebook,Instagram,Twitter,Patreon and at www.gettinglumpedup.com\n\nhttps://linktr.ee/RobRossi\n\nGet your T-shirt at https://www.prowrestlingtees.com/gettinglumpedup\nAnd \nhttps://www.bonfire.com/store/getting-lumped-up/\n\nhttps://app.hashtag.expert/?fpr=roberto-rossi80\n\nhttps://dc2bfnt-peyeewd4slt50d2x1b.hop.clickbank.net\n\n\nSubscribe to the channel and hit the like button \n\nThis episode is sponsored by \xb7 Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rob-rossi/support \n\nhttps://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/getting-lumped-up-with-rob-rossi/id1448899708\n\nhttps://open.spotify.com/show/00ZWLZaYqQlJji1QSoEz7a\n\nhttps://www.patreon.com/Gettinglumpedup
