January 4ths Ready Steady Go is back at Beerland and this time out we're having a whole night dedicated to the 13th Floor Elevators and other vital garage and psych bands that came out of Texas. Make sure to arrive by 10pm for the seated screening of Scott Conn’s "Dirt Road To Psychedelia." This fantastic film is essential viewing for anyone who appreciates the history of Austin music. Conn comprehensively documents the mid-late 60's scene from its humble folk music beginnings to the exciting blues and psychedelic shows at the Vulcan Gas Company. The 70 minute film portrays the era through outstanding archival footage and informative interviews from the people who were integral to the Austin music scene.
Once the film is over, host DJs Mike Hooker and Shorty Stump will spin classic tunes before and after Acid Tomb’s electrifying tribute set to Roky and the Elevators. The band features members of the Alice Rose and Jungle Rockers and they are note perfect to the original songs, even including the trademark electric jug. Retro-mod attire is strongly encouraged.

Love the 13th Floor Elevators. Use to dance in Houston at the “church” and at La Maison in the late 60’s. My friend and I would always watch for the black hearse to pull up. Then we knew the Elevators had arrived. Groovey Man!!! I’ve named one of my paintings “Baby Blue” after their version of the Bob Dylan song.
