13TH FLOOR ELEVATORS: YOU'RE GONNA MISS ME

The 13th Floor Elevators were a truly a truly bent 1960's garage psych rock band that saw the light of day in the mid/late 1960's. Led by the formidable Roky Erickson on vocals, with the back-up of an electric jug player (Tommy Hall), and the warped guitar of Stacy Sutherland. On all fronts, The 13th Floor Elevators were a twisted early psychedelic rock not to be reckoned with. They have recorded many synapse melting songs. Here's one of my favorites, "You're Gonna Miss Me". Enjoy.

TROUBLED HORSE

Troubled Horse is an incredible, sinister sounding retro 1960's and 1970's psych rock band from Sweden. They remind me of a cross between Pentagram, Black Sabbath, The Kinks, and Roky Erickson. They have a distinctive 1960's garage punk edge combined with an excellent ear for doom. Their music is at times akin to the impeccable retro psych doom rock of Witchcraft. Highly recommended. They do not have an album available that I know of, but you can hear two of their songs, "Bring My Horses Home" and "Shirleen" here.
