   About Roky & The Explosives

"Nobody had ever heard anything like Roky Erickson when he and his 13th Floor Elevators burst out of Austin, Texas onto the psychedelic scene in 1966 with their scary nugget, " You're Gonna Miss Me." A decade later, the power-popping Explosives re-ignited the Austin flame, infusing tight Beatlesque rhythms with the passionate fury of their Elevator hero. By 1979, it was downright inevitable that they come together as a tight quartet. Since 2005, the Explosives have again powered Erickson's inspiring return to the stage. Halloween captures the live experience of Roky and the Explosives from their powerful first cycle, 1979-1981. Explosives drummer Freddie Steady Krc has handpicked the tracks, most unreleased, including the only performance of The Beatles' " I've Just Seen a Face." The psychedelic package (cover by San Francisco poster artist, Dennis Loren) includes previously unpublished photos plus a complete history of the band's performances from those three amazing years." ~Rush Evans

Dear Friends,
Well, it's been six months since my abdominal surgery, and finally the music is starting to flow again. I've written two new songs "Bridge Of Shadows" and something a little different for me called "Looking Glass Man"...my first song using a Strat. I've never owned a Stratocaster before, was always a Les Paul guy (still am). But my wife promised me a new Strat if I just acted brave; and survived the surgery of course. I guessed the Fender would influence me in some "twangy way", but I never imagined it would be a Johhny Cash way, (not that I'm complaining, always kind of liked him). So if you get the chance, please stop by and give them a listen. All my very best to you, and thanks for being friends through some really tough times for me,
Your friend,
David

Hey there, Roky & Explosives! And howdy from Arkansas.

I've been a fan since the '60s. Here's what really neat: you don't seem to realize that you're a genius...an outsider artist extraordinaire.

And Cam King...I dig your playin' all the way to China.

One of my favorite songs by anyone is "If You Have Ghosts." Been in love with that one fer over 20 years. Indeed, we require "ghosts" for our metaphysical survival. Without em, banality ensues.

Conclusion: y'all make my heart sing, you bunch of Wild Things.
