Sad news, influenced two of my favourite bands in The Damned and Primal Scream

 

[Razzoo]

Very sad. A Psych Rock legend.

RIP. Big pre-punk influence, and a great sound.

Amazing writer/performer.

 

[The Clamp]

A crazy, brilliant performer. Descended somewhat into madness in recent years I believe. RIP.

To be honest, I was a bit surprised he was still alive ... until recently.

Loads of great stuff.

30 years ago I wrote a song about him (and Alex Chilton) called 'I love Roky Erickson and I love Alex Chilton'.

And I still do.
