Velvet Underground

The Velvet Underground was an experimental rock band from the 1960s and early 1970s. In its early formation, they consisted of Lou Reed (guitar, vocals), John Cale (bass, viola, keyboards and vocals), Maureen Tucker (drums) and Sterling Morrison (guitar), and on the debut album by Nico (vocals).

The band was known as the protégées of Andy Warhol, who also produced their debut album. With their provocative lyrics about sadomasochism, transvestism and drug addiction during their existence they remained commercially unsuccessful, but now regarded as an influential pioneer of experimental rock music.
