“It was strange actually, that Erickson – in stark contrast to all others on stage – had very little energy to spare besides that which was focused on singing the twisted, poetic lyrics of the band. At times he would stand still, only gazing at the crowd – and yet somehow he seemed endearing and captivating as if his sheer presence was enough to overwhelm the crowd.”

- således skriver Bo Kastaniegaard Vinberg om The 13th Floor Elevators 50 års reunion-koncert ved Levitation 2015/Austin Psych Fest på Rockfreaks.net. Festivalen fandt sted for ottende gang i dagene 8. – 10. maj. Og endnu en gang var line-uppen ganske enkelt overvældende. Læs Vinbergs sobre reportage/anmeldelse/gennemgang af festivalen.

Med det på plads, så ville jeg også gerne have overværet Willie Thrashers og Linda Saddlebacks optræden. Flere vil sikkert huske Willie Thrasher, som plademærket Light In The Attic gravede frem fra glemslen til 2014-compilationen, ’Native North America (Vol. 1): Aboriginal Folk, Rock, and Country 1966-1985’.
