'A DAY AND NIGHT
WITH ROKY ERICKSOM A rare glimpse into the mind and music of Roky Erickson, one of American rock's most influential and inspirational singer-songwriters.
Demon Angel contains live performance footage shot on Halloween night, 1984, in an underground creek in Austin, Texas. Roky performs his songs solo on electric and acoustic guitar and in duet with guitarist/producer Mike Alvarez. Exclusive interviews with Roky, his friends, family and long-time supporter Bill Bentley give further insight into this fascinating artist.'

'BACKGROUND
In 66. Roky fronted what was arguably America's first psychedelic band, the 13th Floor Elevators. The band dissolved when Roky, in an attempt to beat the system, was committed to the Rusk State Mental Institution to avoid criminal prosecution for marijuana possession. His three year stay forever changed him. In the mid-Seventies, Roky returned to recording with a vengeance. His work from That period secured his status as one of the most original and enduring songsmiths of the fock generation, In the 1990's numerous music acts assembled to tecord Where the Pyramid Meets the Eye, a tribute to Roky released by Sire/Warner Bros.
In "95, prominent Austin players such as Butthole Surfer Paul Leary, Lou Ann Barton and Charlie Sexton joined Roky on his latest collection, All That May Do My Rhyme.
Amsterdamned released a soundtrack in conjunction with the Demon Angel video release in 1999.'
