Description
The Velvet Underground are the quintessential New York band: streetwise, tough, dressed in black; an image of cool that has endured for almost forty years, with classic songs of sex and drugs that pulled no punches. Rob Jovanovic chronicles the band's rise from its creation in 1965, the influence of Andy Warhol and the factory; the five albums that remain core stock; the personal lives of the members of the band in its various incarnations; and the lives and solo careers of the remaining members.
