Opaque Purple Marble Vinyl, 180g vinyl, Lyric sheet included Box Set. We're Gonna Miss You is the first Australian posthumous tribute to one of the most influential pioneers of 'psychedelic' rock, Roger 'Roky' Erickson. Despite leaving his earthly incarnation in 2019, echoes of Roky's creations, particularly his work with 60's Austin rockers The 13th Floor Elevators, are certainly alive and well today. His story wasn't without it's darker shades. Caught between a revolution, the correctional system and his own battles with mental health, Roky spent years subject to electrotherapy and the debilitating side effects of treatment drugs like thorazine, before his creative spirit (alongside help from the very musicians he influenced) summoned him back to the stage. Paying homage to Roky, his resilience and his contribution to modern music, eleven artists from the Australian music community have united to produce an iconic tribute album, all in the name of raising much needed funds for mental health. Sydney-based producer Dan Frizza approached Rick Snowden and Josh White from Third Eye Stimuli Records during 2019 and together, they carefully curated a slew of exciting rock acts including Rosa Maria, Buried Feather, Turtle Skull, The Jim Mitchells, Jak Housden (The Whitlams), Misty Lanes, Luke Spook, Pseudo Mind Hive, Charlie Gradon, The Flamingo Jones and Joe Ghatt (NZ) - the result is a potent psych-rock compilation tastefully honouring Roky's music and spirit, continuing his explorations in the 'psychedelic' sound.
