The Hounds of Baskerville - Continental Club, Houston TX - July 14, 2012


[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)
