We are gutted to learn of the passing of music legend Roky Erickson, known for helping invent psychedelic rock with his seminal band 13th Floor Elevators and his solo career. Rest in power. #rokyerickson #riprokyerickson #psychedelicrock #legend (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByKRj8TpaBb/?igshid=1k2fwxu58ef00

So stoked to have gotten to see Roky Erikson at the @thrashermag Still Watchin’ Jam in March in his hometown of Austin. The first time I heard his music was thru Radio Birdman’s version of You’re Gonna Miss Me in the late 80’s. Then the Butthole Surfers did something with Roky in the early 90s and it really made me wonder who this hippie-era dude was who got so much respect from the punks was. In the LimeWire era I got a ton of his music including all the 13th Floor Elevators stuff and it’s been a pretty regular rotation since then. Even though the #Thrasher show was Roky at age 71 the show was great. Im thankful for the chance to “work” with Roky and his band. Sad to see him pass. #goodmusic #rokyerickson #riprokyerickson #radiobirdman #youregonnamissme (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByJfSMWl11d/?igshid=pz1pdnx83zh3
