Somewhere, on another oxygen supported planet in a far away universe, a butterfly fluttered and it caused an inter-galactic ripple. Texas psyche patriarchs 13th Floor Elevators will play the Levitation Festival in Austin, Texas, marking the first time they have appeared together onstage since 1967.
This one-off reunion will feature all living original members, including vocalist, guitarist, and Austin native Roky Erickson, bassist Ronnie Leatherman, and original drummer John Ike Walton. Astonishingly, the band's primary lyricist, electric jug player, and all-around visionary Tommy Hall will join the Elevators as well. He has essentially been living in seclusion in San Francisco for the decades since the band broke up. Guitarist Eli Southard from The Hounds of Baskerville will be stepping in for the late Stacy Sutherland.
The Levitation Festival takes place May 8th – 10th at Carson Creek Ranch. Sharing the stage with the Elevators will be Tame Impala, Spiritualized, The Jesus & Mary Chain, The Flaming Lips, Primal Scream, Earth, Mac DeMarco, and The Sword. Tickets are on sale now and are available through the festival’s website.
