The Austin Chronicle is an independent, locally owned and operated alternative newsweekly that reflects the heart and soul of Austin, Texas.
Little late to be marking the 24th year after the passing of Peter Ivers, but we were thinking about him and invite you to, too. Indulge us, will you? Ivers was the man behind the Lady in the Radiator (David Lynch’s Eraserhead) and early-Eighties late-night TV savior, New Wave Theater on USA Network’s NightFlight.
Circumstances surrounding Ivers’ murder in March 1983 still remain a mystery.
