There’s a book on the way that figures to make for some good quarantine reading. “13th Floor Elevators: A Visual History,” by Paul Drummond, will be published April 21. Here’s a preview. In words and photos, it tells the story of of the legendary underground psych-rockers, who after their 1960s heyday came to influence new generations of musicians. Order it here.

SUPPORT THE SCENE

With venues and bars shuttered, fundraising campaigns are underway for staff — sound engineers, bartenders, security, door people, etc. Here’s how to help:

■ A GoFundMe campaign has been started for employees of the Teragram Ballroom and the Moroccan Lounge. Donate.

■ A GoFundMe campaign has been started for employees of the Satellite. Donate.

■ Zebulon Café has set up a GoFundMe page for its employees. Donate.

■ The Lodge Room (and adjacent Checker Hall) has a GoFundMe for their employees. Donate.

■ The 1933 Group, owner of 11 establishments including Highland Park Bowl, both Bigfoot Lodges, the Sassafras Saloon and the Thirsty Crow, is taking a novel approach to fundraising: They’re selling “bonds.” Essentially gift certificates, the bonds are worth $100 in future purchases, and they’re being sold at a discount for $80. More information here.

■ DoLA— the popular website and email newsletter that’s a virtual city guide to all things music, arts and culture — is soliciting donations for its staff. Like many outlets who depend on marketing dollars (including this site), DoLA’s revenue has plummeted to zero because of the lockdown. Their plea is simple: help us stay in business.
