FACTS

The Velvet Underground was an experimental rock band formed in New York City in 1964. The band became known as a group of protégées from Andy Warhol, who also produced their first album. With their provocative lyrics about sadomasochism, transvestism and drug addiction, the band remained commercially unsuccessful during its existence, but today they are counted among the most influential rock bands in music history. Well-known members include Lou Reed, John Cale and Nico.
