The 13th Floor Elevators were an American garage rock band that was formed in 1965, in Austin, Texas, U.S. The band emerged on the local Austin music scene in December 1965, where they were contemporary to bands such as The Wig and The Babycakes, and later followed by Shiva's Headband and The Conqueroo. The band was formed when Roky Erickson left his group The Spades, and joined up with Stacy Sutherland, Benny Thurman, and John Ike Walton who had been playing Texas coastal towns as The Lingsmen. Tommy Hall was instrumental in bringing the band members together, and joined the group as lyricist and electric jug player. In 1966, they released their debut album, The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators, which yielded the hit single, "You're Gonna Miss Me".
