Roky Erickson by Austin PowellThe Black Angels' 2006 debut, Passover, descended like an extension of the 13th Floor Elevators' landmark Easter Everywhere, channeling its forefathers' levitating grooves and thick acid drone while leading the second wave of Texas psych. The Angels' aviation has mirrored the resurrection of original Elevator howler Roky Erickson, whose harrowing tale of grave misfortune and eventual triumph was intimately detailed in the 2007 documentary You're Gonna Miss Me. The younger band is now opening for and backing Erickson, performing Elevator classics like "Don't Fall Down" and "Rollercoaster" — which, until recently, hadn't been performed since the late '60s. Black Angels vocalist Alex Maas has even learned electric jug for the occasion. "We've always tried to capture the spirit of what Roky created," says guitarist Christian Bland. "This just brings it full circle."
