"Pioneering psychedelic rock band 13th Floor Elevators are going to reunite at the Levitation Festival in Austin this May. The Texas band achieved national success with their hit "You're Gonna to Miss Me" in the mid '60s, but this upcoming concert marks the first time all four surviving members (Roky Erickson, Tommy Hall, John Ike Walton, and Ronnie Leatherman), have played together since 1967. It's fitting celebration for the bands' half-century anniversary." - SPIN

"So significant, indeed, is the Elevators' appearance here on 10 May that this year, in their honour, the name of the festival has been changed to Levitation - a track from the bands' second album." - The Guardian
