Biografia:
Al igual que Syd Barrett, Roky Erickson llegó al status de artista de culto más que por su música, por su trágica vida: ataques de locura, abuso de drogas, etc, frecuentes en la psicodelia.
Inicio
Roger Kynard Erickson nació el 15 de 1947 en Dallas, Texas y comenzó a tocar el piano a la edad de 5 años. Para los 12 años también tocaba la guitarra. Hijo de un arquitecto y una aspirante de cantante de ópera, abandonó los estudios para convertirse en músico profesional.

Roky Erickson & The Aliens song title, "Creature with the Atom Brain" is based of a 1955

who forces an ex-Nazi scientist to create zombies by resurrecting corpses through radiation
in order to help him exact revenge on his enemies.
