Roky Erickson, The Reputations, Flesh Lights

Over half a century after the 13th Floor Elevators first laid waste to the New Orleans Club, psychedelic overlord Erickson lights up Red River. His formidable cult classics channeling Buddy Holly, Timothy Leary, and Boris Karloff now inform three generations. Local support banks the Reputations’ soulful sorcery and spot-on incantation of mid-Seventies Kiki Dee, while the Flesh Lights (don’t Google ’em at work) proffer raging avant-punk. – Greg Beets
