Join radio personality Dennis the Menace from KUSF as he presents the Doc Screening of "YOU'RE GONNA MISS ME" - on musician Roky Erickson and the 13th Floor Elevators.

In Austin, Texas, a 53-year-old man sleeps to the melody of four radios, three televisions, two amps, a radio scanner, and a Casio keyboard, all playing at the same time. Loudly. He has three teeth and his hair is matted into one huge dreadlock.

This is the story of Roky Erickson: manic frontman for the legendary band The 13th Floor Elevators, creators of psychedelic music and muse to Janis Joplin. YOURE GONNA MISS ME is a disturbingly intimate portrait of an imploding family and the struggle between modernized medicine and religion.

Known for his colossal heroin & LSD binges, struggles with schizophrenia, and an unthinkable term at Rusk Hospital for the Criminally Insane, Roky went missing from the world. YOURE GONNA MISS ME reveals the shocking & triumphant truth behind one of Rock's great mysteries.

Two Shows: 7:30 and 9:30. There will be DVD and soundtrack giveaways at both shows.

KUSF's Dennis the Menace will also be presenting Roky's music performance at SF's The Great American Music Hall on October 31st.
