7th March 2012: Roky Erickson & interview / Playlist

Featured: Roky Erickson

Just before Roky comes to Australia to play for the very first time ever, Thee Sonic Assassin had the opportunity of talking to the Godfather of Psychedelic Rock...

Roky Erickson was engaging and insightful and an absolute gentleman!!

Tune in next week to hear about break-up songs, Janis Joplin, taking it easy and how the council nearly knocked his house down... amongst other things!!
