The Velvet Underground
The Velvet Underground were a rock group formed in New York City in 1964, whose classic line-up was Lou Reed, John Cale, Sterling Morrison and Moe Tucker. The band combined songs with drones, feedback and noise, and they were the house band at Andy Warhol's Factory and of his multimedia show Exploding Plastic Inevitable. They are best known for their debut The Velvet Underground & Nico (1967). The Velvet Underground had Angus MacLise on percussion in their first months before Tucker joined, and took their final name in 1965.
