ST-37 performs Roky Erickson's "Cold Night for Alligators"

Austin's own ST-37 performs a cover of Roky Erickson & the 13th Floor Elevator's "Cold Night for Alligators" at Room 710 in Austin, TX on Sept. 21st, 2000.

"Forget about San Francisco: The American capitol of psychedelic rock was Austin, Texas, and no band soared higher than Roky Erickson and the 13th Floor Elevators. In addition to acid-tinged garage rockers... which viscerally evoked the sounds of their (song) titles while offering lyrics that provided a philosophical structure for the psychedelic experience. The lyrics were written by (Roky Erickson and) Tommy Hall, who also played amplified jug. Hard as it may be to believe now, that jug created a weird sound that predicted that burbling synthesizers of modern-day techno." --Jim Derogatis (editor & reviewer for Amazon.com)
