Portrait of an alien
You're Gonna Miss Me chronicles the life and times of 13th Floor Elevators' psych rock visionary Roky Erickson—focusing primarily on his current mental state. It premiered at the 2005 SXSW Film Festival and will finally hit theatres nationwide on June 8th followed by a DVD release on July 10th (via CMJ).
From the You're Gonna Miss Me website: Outside Austin, Texas, a 53-year-old man sits in an apartment with four radios, three televisions, two amps, a radio scanner, and a casio electric piano playing. At the same time. Loudly. He has three teeth, his hair is matted into one huge dreadlock, and he has a notarized document on his wall declaring himself an alien, "so whoever's putting shocks to my head will stop."
