the 13th floor elevators


"Hailing from Austin, Texas, the members of 13th Floor Elevators were quite possibly the first artists to describe their music as psychedelic. Their lyrics and sleeve notes openly and religiously endorsed the use of drugs (particularly ) to alter human consciousness for the better."


My Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Roky Erickson is one lunatic of a god.

P.S. Janis Joplin was THIS CLOSE to joining these guys in the mid 60's, but she (obviously) decided to pursue a career of her own.
