  • These guys are obviously a tribute band to the 13th Floor Elevators. It says so in their description. I took the liberty to check if this group had CD's for sale and they do not. I talked to Jennifer Marchand (the booking lady) at Ruta Maya in Austin (where this video was recorded) and she said 100% of the band's pay went to Roky's charity. I bet this is more money than TexasTexan2 has ever donated to Roky.

  • This is a "bad cover"? Who's covering Elevators these days?Some of us have been living with Elevators music for four decades-WE ain't complaining so why are you? Roky himself doesn't perform any of these songs (and won't) so you should be glad that someone who obviously loves this material is willing to perform it so well. And as for bad covers, anyone heard Simon LeBon sing Femme Fatale recently?

    This is great material performed lovingly - take it for what it is.

  • Having listened to the Avalon '66 boot into the ground, this is cover version does the original great

  • I think this cover is fucking awesome, sure could use more bands like this nowdays, instead we get little wing and keep on rocking in the free world cover bands. (Not saying little wing/rocking are bad songs)

  • Bad cover? Fuck you.... I hate covers, but this one was great. How do you think Roky would have done it live?

  • are the 13th Floor Elevators some kind of national heroes there in texas ? Seems to me :D

  • Someone's got to hook it up with the tabs for the is song.

  • Fuck TexasTexan2 , we don't listen to your Rap , so don't Bogart our kind of Music , would love to see you do this . This is no rip off , this is paying Homage , the real deal Homage. Wow , got a great Howl down .

    I am sure Roky is Honored . This is just plain kick ass good .

  • That kicked arse! One of my favorite Elevators songs...that singer and some very Roky-like howls.

  • its a real cool cover. Even without havin any acid i can see the green fuzz with purple flashes
