Indian Jewelry was a Houston experimental rock group active under that name from 2002 to 2016, with Tex Kerschen and Erika Thrasher at its center. The group combined electronic noise, distorted rhythm, psychedelic repetition, and disorienting stage lighting, often blurring the boundary between a rock concert and a sensory installation. Releases including Invasive Exotics (2006), Free Gold! (2008), and Totaled (2010) carried this approach to wider audiences. The subsequent adoption of the name Studded Left continued the musicians’ collaboration, while Indian Jewelry remains a document of Houston’s internationally connected experimental underground.
3 appearances documented on Free Press Houston bills. Records are kept to the lineup sources the archive holds; nothing beyond them is stated.
“The electro synth darkness featuring members of Indian Jewelry is always intriguing and engaging live.”
