The Evil One Orange \u0026amp; Bloody Hammer Red colored vinyl. \"Every Night Is Halloween\". Upon completion of the Stu Cook produced Roky Erickson \u0026amp; The Aliens LP in summer of 1979, Roky decided to return home to Austin from San Francisco. He needed a band and The Explosives came highly recommended to Roky's manager, Craig Luckin. Introductions were made and rehearsals began. Roky \u0026amp; The Explosives immediately hit it off, musically and personally. They played together in Texas and California from 1979-1981 logging in around 50 shows. 13th Floor Elevators drummer John Ike Walton remarked to Explosives drummer Freddie Steady Krc \"You guys played more shows with Roky than the Elevators did!\" The guys got in the van and barnstormed all over the Lone Star State. Bootleg recordings began to emerge that were sub-quality live performance recordings that everyone was making money off except Roky and The Explosives. Craig and Freddie agreed Freddie would review all the recordings they could find from 1979-81. Almost all were in Craig's possession. Upon final review, Freddie would select the best performance of each song they were playing live from that time period. Some, like \"Heroin\" and \"I've Just Seen a Face\" were called on the spot by Roky at a show, performed once and never played again. After the music was selected, Craig and Freddie went through their personal collection of photos, poster images and added a complete show itinerary from 1979-81. Halloween is a loving collection of performances documenting a time of Roky's reemergence into the rock music world. It was something most thought they would never see after his final days with 13th Floor Elevators, following drug busts and his plunge into mental illness eventually ending in his stay at Rusk State Mental Hospital. This record is a testimony of Roky's personal strength and will to return to performing and songwriting. Long live his music!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo Headed Dog\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Don't Shake Me Lucifer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bermuda\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Wind and More\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Starry Eyes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Walked with a Zombie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Stand for the Fire Demon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bloody Hammer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Wait for You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Wake Up to Rock and Roll\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e You're Gonna Miss Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Creature with the Atom Brain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Think Up Demons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Beast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I've Just Seen a Face\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Interpreter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e White Faces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e KLBJ Radio Ad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57420404392271,"sku":"760137665212","price":5.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/8725\/2047\/files\/4035961-2783198.jpg?v=1775623156","url":"https:\/\/vibesvinyl.com\/products\/halloween-live-1979-1981","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
