13th Floor Elevators

The 13th Floor Elevators were a psychedelic rock band formed in Austin, Texas, in 1965 around singer and guitarist Roky Erickson, guitarist Stacy Sutherland and lyricist Tommy Hall, who played an amplified jug. They are counted among the first bands to describe their own music as psychedelic, and their records were later heard as a forerunner of punk. All of the band's albums came out on International Artists: The Psychedelic Sounds Of The 13th Floor Elevators (1966), Easter Everywhere (1967), Live (1968), and Bull Of The Woods (1969).
