The 13th Floor Elevators were one of the pioneering bands of psychedelic music;

many have cited them as the first true psychedelic rock band, and if they weren't, 

they certainly predated most of the San Francisco bands that gave the sound a global audience. 

The Elevators played a bracing fusion of garage rock and genre-defying musical exploration 

powered by Roky Erickson's feral vocals and rhythm guitar, 

Stacy Sutherland's concise but agile lead guitar work, and Tommy Hall's amplified jug playing, 

the latter of which gave them a sound unlike any other in rock. 

The Elevators were also exploring the outer limits of both consciousness

and rock & roll in Texas in the early to mid-'60s, 

a time and place that wasn't quite ready for them, leading to the myriad problems 

that at once fueled their legend and cut down the band before their time

Did the 13th Floor Elevators invent psychedelic rock? Aficionados will be debating that point for decades, 

but if Roky Erickson and his fellow travelers into inner space weren't there first, they were certainly close 

to the front of the line, and there are few albums from the early stages of the psych movement 

that sound as distinctively trippy -- and remain as pleasing -- as the group's groundbreaking debut,
