One of the most exhilarating & important rock ’n’ roll stories ever told — Julian Cope


The trailblazing 13th Floor Elevators released the first psychedelic rock album in America, transforming culture throughout the 1960s & beyond. The Elevators followed their own spiritual cosmic agenda, to change society by finding a new path to enlightenment. Their battles with repressive authorities in Texas & their escape to San Francisco s embryonic counterculture are legendary.

When the Elevators returned to Texas, the band became subject to investigation by Austin police. Lead singer Roky Erickson was forced into a real-life enactment of "One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest" & was put away in a maximum-security unit for the criminally insane for years. Tommy Hall, their Svengali lyricist, lived in a cave. Guitarist Stacy Sutherland was imprisoned. The drummer was involuntarily subjected to electric shock treatments, & the bassist was drafted into the Vietnam War.

This fascinating biography breaks decades of silence of band members & addresses a huge cult following of Elevators fans in the United States & Europe. The group is revered as a formative influence on Janis Joplin, Led Zeppelin, Patti Smith, Primal Scream, R.E.M, & Z.Z. Top.


Roky Erickson is the subject of a heralded recent documentary feature, "You re Gonna Miss Me"; a box set of remastered Elevators CDs with liner notes by author Paul Drummond will be issued in fall 2007."
