Who? Where?

A bit too Psych and 60's for my tastes. But boy he sure made his mark.

Never heard of him either. Apparently founded The 13th Floor Elevators a psychedelic band. Here's one of their recordings;

And it's Roky Ericsson.

On first spotting this thread I thought of Rocky Stallone and Sven-Göran Eriksson.

Never heard of him before, but this is pretty good, There were lots of American garage bands like this in the 60s. They did a lot of good stuff. (Unlike the corporate sh1t3 that pass for pop music these days, which I'd rather listen to the weekly Archers omnibus to, even though I loathe The Archers, in fact I'd rather be water-boarded).

Classic CC cafe thread sadly.

Who, what? FFS you have the internets. It's not that difficult to work out who Roky was.

Having established you know who Roky is, you listen to a couple of YouTube clips and conclude he was pretty good, but that the kids of today are up to no good.

No wonder Roky decided it was better to be off his face all the time.
