The 13th Floor Elevators were an American psychedelic rock band formed in Austin, Texas in 1965. The band consisted of Roky Erickson on vocals and guitar, Tommy Hall on jug and vocals, Stacy Sutherland on guitar, Benny Thurman on bass, and John Ike Walton on drums.

The band's music was characterized by their unique use of the electric jug, which was played by Hall and produced a distinctive "whooping" sound. They also incorporated elements of blues, folk, and garage rock into their music, creating a sound that was unlike anything else at the time.

The 13th Floor Elevators released their debut album, "The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators," in 1966. The album was a critical success and is now considered a classic of the psychedelic rock genre. The band's other albums include "Easter Everywhere" (1967) and "Bull of the Woods" (1969).

The 13th Floor Elevators were known for their intense live shows, which often featured strobe lights and other psychedelic visuals. However, the band's career was cut short by drug problems and legal troubles. Erickson was diagnosed with schizophrenia and spent time in a mental institution, while Hall was arrested for possession of marijuana and later became a born-again Christian.

Despite their relatively short career, the 13th Floor Elevators had a profound influence on the development of psychedelic rock and have been cited as an inspiration by many later artists.
