You're Gonna Miss Me
Nick Adams here.
Way back when, I shouted out my friend Keven McAlester's documentary, You're Gonna Miss Me over on my site. The film was a hit on the festival circuit and was nominated for a Film Independent Spirit Award. Finally the folks at Palm Pictures stepped in to give the movie the distribution it deserves. The movie details the rise and fall of psychedelic rock trailblazer Roky Erickson and his decades long battle with drug addiction and mental illness. Fun for the whole family!
Bonus video!
Just to show you what kind of a bad ass performer Erickson was before things went haywire, here's a clip of The 13th Floor Elevators performing on the show Where the Action Is in 1966.
