It may seem strange to think that Acid Rock originated someplace outside of San-Fran, but it's true. Texas during the 60s produced some of the fiercest garage bands & eventually, even one of the decades biggest icons. Of course the most popular group from this period is Roky's gang, but there's so many other groups that deserve recognition such as Lost and Found & Endle St. Cloud. Also featured to represent the birth of Texas' blues-rock towards the end of the 60s are the likes of Janis Joplin.

"Everybody was recording songs written by people like Carole King. Maybe that was better than incredible numbers of people in bands all writing songs." Original versions of songs covered by Galaxie 500, featuring the Rutles, the Red Krayola, Yoko Ono, and more.
