You're Gonna Miss Me

You're Gonna Miss Me documents the life of Roky Erickson, the man who fronted the popular band 13th Floor Elevators, whose biggest hit provides the title for the movie. Although Erickson and company are often credited as being among the forbearers of psychedelic-inspired acid rock, Erickson battled serious drug problems and mental illness throughout much of his life. Clips of the band performing during their heyday are presented alongside the older Erickson, holed up in his apartment listening obsessively to multiple radios and televisions.
