[Austin] We saw the band at
Roky Erikson’s signing before the show. Among Roky’s motley crew of hippie,
chubby, loony fans (who like him because they’re like him), they stood out with
all their youth and cool. They were like Roky’s scenester wingmen plus one hot
girl. It wasn’t clear whether they were backing Roky or if they were their own
band – they were both. It was also confusing because there’s a band from the
60s called The Baskerville Hounds. They told us their music was similar to
Roky’s to the extent that they were dark too. They were really good – had the
spirit of a Jack White band but less minimalist. Keyboard, 2 guitarists, backup
vocalist, drummer. ((Frontman is Roky's son)) (Photo courtesy of https://www.houstonpress.com/music/saturday-night-roky-erickson-at-the-continental-club-6520066)
