Hailing from Austin, Texas, the members of 13th Floor Elevators were probably the first artists to describe their music as psychedelic.

The band pioneered some of the early garage psychedelics on their albums The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators 1966, and the follow-up Easter Everywhere 1967. However, in the 2000s they reappeared with one of their bands backing band from the late 70s/early 80s. , The Explosives, playing regular gigs including the Austin City Limits Festival in September 2008, as well as Coachella in California, the Hultsfred Festival in Sweden and the films from the world of Montreal in Canada.
Why Hotels Don’T Have A 13Th Floor [2021]
Anyway, believe it or not, a lot of hotels try to avoid having a (named) 13th floor and sometimes even avoid having rooms with the number 13. There may -maybe no exact data on the number of hotels that do not have a 13th floor but the company Otis Elevators estimates that "85% of buildings with their elevators do not have a named 13th floor".This is a very large number so I would expect many if not most hotels in the US to not have a named 13th floor. This means that if you were looking at an elevator, you would simply see:
11, 12, 14, 15…
If you were to go down to the 14th floor, it would actually be the 13th floor of the building, so there is still a 13th floor but it's just not "named". For many people, that's enough. When it comes to hotels, many properties want to accommodate as many guests as possible, and with a significant percentage of the population struggling to stay in a room on the 13th floor, many hotels have taken steps to avoid having a named 13th floor. .
