The Velvet Underground & Nico - The Velvet Underground - (1967) So what's an electro-pop artist doing reviewing an avant garde band from the 60's? Weren't the 60's all about the Beatles, Bubblegum Pop, and the Beach Boys? Perhaps if you were following the popular music trends of the day, yes. But the VU could care less about trends. They were ignoring the pop trends of their era and doing things their own way. I was first introduced to the Velvet Underground in late 1983 while reading an interview by R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck. The album was recorded in 1966 but not released until the following year.

The album is full of stark contrasts. TheVelvetUnderground.co.uk v2 - CometBird. The Velvet Underground - It's Just Too Much: A Guide to Unoffici. LOU REED - CometBird. FollowTheLeader - CometBird.

The story Of The Mighty MC5 - Part 1 - The Beginning - CometBird

The name MC5 is thought up by Tyner and chosen because it sounds like a car part and also stands for Motor City 5 which is apt because the band emanate from the tough city of Detroit a city famed for its car industry and simmering racial tensions in mid sixties America. The band play play offs, battle of the bands and any gig they can get taking an aggressive, competitive edge to these events honing their skills, performance and solidarity but without much success.

However with the burgeoning hippy scene the band's fortunes take a turn for the better when they take on John Sinclair, leader of the Trans Love Commune, as their manager. Sinclair was a major figure Detroit's counter culture and had served two prison terms for marijuana related offences. Back To Top. Machine Gun Thompson's Blog - CometBird.
