Featuring the yelping vocals and visionary, occasionally demented lyrics of Roky Erickson, the 13th Floor Elevators were one of the original acid rock bands. Formed in Texas in the mid-’60s, the Elevators started as a garage rock outfit, scoring their one and only modest national hit with “You’re Gonna Miss Me.” While Erickson’s loopy persona and Tommy Hall’s odd “jug” percussion were the band’s most distinguishing features, several members of the group’s original lineup contributed strong material to their albums. Trips to San Francisco established the group as an up-and-coming underground favorite, but Erickson’s problems with drugs and the police led to the singer’s commission to a state mental hospital in the late ’60s, an ordeal from which he has never fully recovered.
