The Elevators set the bar for all those San Francisco bands, and indeed the whole psychedelic wave of the late 60s. They were psych/garage/punk before any of those terms were in use. The whole shebang started in Texas, not California. There's been a movie about Roky and everything. Check Youtube for a b&w clip of "You're Gonna Miss Me". If you're gonna play a song by that name, you'd better learn about the Elevators.
How long have you been in Texas?
