The 13th Floor Elevators . . .

was an American rock band from Austin, Texas, formed by guitarist and vocalist

Roky Erickson, electric jug player Tommy Hall, bass player Dan Galindo, and guitarist Stacy Sutherland, which existed from 1965 to 1969.

During their career, the band released four LP records and seven 45s for the International Artists record label.

They are often credited as one of the first psychedelic bands in the history of rock n' roll.

According to the 2005 documentary You're Gonna Miss Me, Tommy Hall is credited with coining the term "psychedelic rock".

 Their contemporary influence has been acknowledged by 1960s musicians such as

Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, Peter Albin of Big Brother and the Holding Company, and Chris Gerniottis of Zakary Thaks.

Their debut 45 "You're Gonna Miss Me", a national Billboard No. 55 hit in 1966.

The band's name was developed from a suggestion by drummer John Ike Walton to use the name "Elevators" and Clementine Hall added "13th Floor".

In addition to an awareness that a number of tall buildings don't have a 13th floor, it has been noted that the letter "M" (for marijuana) is the thirteenth letter of the alphabet.But there's another "level" of signification for the band's name. Indeed, it also refers to the 13th and very last floor of the pyramid of enlightenment, where stands the "all seeing eye" or "third eye", featured prominently in the band imagery, and which, according to Roky Erickson, defines the psychedelic music itself ("it's where the pyramid meets the eye"). The number 13 traditionally refers to the beyond, to the unknown, and symbolizes the gateway to the mysterious source of Creation, sometimes referred to as the "eye of the vortex", or "Eye of God".

 In the human brain, the third eye relates to the pineal gland, which is activated by yogic practices,

but also by the proper use of psychedelic substances, such as LSD, mescaline, and magic mushrooms.

So, in the mystical sense, the band's name signifies that the members of the band actually serve as elevators for the audience consciousness,

which is led progressively by the music and the lyrics to a state of enlightenment.

Danny Galindo, after leaving the Elevators . .went on to another International Artists band, the Rubiayat

also . .  

 played bass with Jimmie Vaughan's (Stevie Ray's older brother) band Storm in Austin, Texas during the 1970s

Danny passed away in 2001 from Hep C
