About this episode
This week, we talk to musician LARRY SCHEMEL (Roky Erickson, Death Valley Girls, The Flesheaters, Kill Sybil) about the Roky Erickson documentary You’re Going To Miss Me . We get to find out Larry’s path to working with Roky Erickson & what it was like touring with Roky, Roky’s family situation, does the film show a fair look into Roky’s life at the time, how hard the film is currently to find to view, where we first discovered the 13th Floor Eleveators and what the band meant to us, Velvet Underground, The Nuggets Complation & oldies stations, The Sonics, Forced Exposure Magazine and zine culture, the Elevator’s discography, how the band avoided the hippie-trippie music that was being made at the time, the mythology of Roky & his band The Aliens, Roky’s mother Eveyln, the mysterious jug members of the Elevators, acid, Cold Sun, electric distorted Autoharp, Roky’s Horror Rock, Stu Cook from CCR producing Roky, 415 records, Roky being pulled onstage to sing at a Butthole Surfers show against his will, the chapters that happened after this film ends, how Roky’s songs were structured and what it was like to play them & how Roky knew the songs by the first couple notes. So don’t fall down on this week’s emotional episode of Revolutions Per Movie.
