My friend who has visited with Roky a lot said he walks now with the "thorazine shuffle"--very sad to see--but that Roky is always in good humor.
I would love to hear more re the Latin psych bands--the only ones I have heard were on comps.
My oldest son said the most psychedelic music he ever heard was on a Navajo reservation--the band was painted wild colors on their faces and bodies and played psych mixed wth a hard core frenzy--and sang in Navajo
A great many American Indians I have known--including my first wife, a Mohawk--(and I 'm part Ojibway)besides country music loved psych music. One of my best friends in Boston was Little Brook Reen, an Oglala Sioux. He had a huge collection of very rare psych lps. (A good deal I know of psych lps is from him and his collection--he recorded several for me also.) He kept them in special boxes in his van that he lived in. A total psych experience--a converted old milk delivery van--painted in Sacred patterns along with psych style images done in hallucinatory colors. We often did record show together, sharing a booth. He would toture collectors by walking through the crowds carrying some of his rarest lps--they would follow him in a batch, making loud demands and naming ever higher prices. Litlle Brook would just smile at them, never say a
word, then return to our booth and put the lp behind the counter. He told me it was a form of revenge on white people. "No more selling islands for beads".
I would love to hear of the Latin bands you know of. One band I liked but is a punk garage sixties band--Los Diablos. (And there is always Questin Mark and the Mysterians!)

>YES!!!!! The Golden Dawn!!!!!! I have heard this mighty record!!! Thank you for bringing them up!
>I know a man here from Austin who has stories of Roky and another friend who moved there said he is in the phone book.
>The double lp my friend gave me for my birthday a few weeks ago is on the classic Norton label, called DON'T KNOCK THE ROK. Roky and the Aliens do covers of "A Teenager in Love", "Angel Baby" "Heratbreak Hotel" "Money Honey" "Stand by Me" a lotof Buddy Holly songs and these interspersed with a few Aliens songs. It was recorded live at the LA Zoo in 1978.

> >If you are looking for the lp itself, there is a late 70s English reissue on vinyl that you could probably find for much less than the old International Artists lp. (I don't recall exactly but may have been on Radar records, which did resissue some of the 13th Floor Eleavtors lps at one point.)
> >I used to have all the lps on that lable, plus the double lp EPITAPH FOR A LEGEND--had rare singles, outtakes, live tracks and radio interviews withthe 13th Floor Elevators, and one with Roky Erikson (one of my personal heroes--a friend for my birthday gave me double lp of Roky and athe Aliens live in 78--mainly doing old reock'n'rol covesrs though mixed with Aliens materials--and now I read a new CD out of Roky--)
> >I can't reacall the name, you could find it--but Mayo Thompson of the Red Krayola later got inolved ni some other projects oin the 70s and early 80s.
> >Sorry my memories aren't exact! I worked seven years in new/use/rare record store in cambridge, MA--so my mind is when these topics come up suddenly awash in so many images and sounds, hard to bring them into focus with the exact info--but should be easy to find----I am sure though there must be a CD out there of the Red Krayola--who could live without them!??)
