Lemonheads, The x Bevis Frond, The – Roky / The Great Big No / My Drug Buddy (Indie Exclusive) [White 12" EP]

Description

The Lemonheads release a strictly limited edition 12" single on 21st September featuring three classic tracks on white vinyl. Lead cut is 'Roky', Evan Dando's homage to the late, great outsider genius Roky Erickson (of garage psyche legends 13th Floor Elevator and much solo strangeness). "If Roky Erickson had vanished from the face of the earth after The 13th Floor Elevators released their epochal debut single, 'You're Gonna Miss Me', in early 1966, in all likelihood he'd still be regarded as a legend among garage rock fanatics for his primal vocal wailing and feral harmonica work." AllMusic 'Roky' is Evan's incisive take on the songwriter's struggles and features a searing guitar break from the song's co-writer Nick Saloman (The Bevis Frond) The Bevis Frond toured with The Lemonheads in support of the latter's much-praised 'Love Chant' album of 2025 from where 'Roky' originally comes. And, to complete this unique package, the Frond cover two Lemonheads' songs, 'The Great Big No' and 'My Drug Buddy'; both sounding like the kind of UK-based left field power pop that inspired Kurt Cobain in the formative days of grunge – indeed, they could have snook out on the original Rough Trade or 53rd & 3rd labels at any time. Fact fans looking for Roky-styled curveball ley line between events, might note that The Lemonheads covered The Bevis Frond's 'Old Man Blank' on 2019's 'Varshons II', the same year that Roky sadly passed.
