Lou Reed and Sterling Morrison were friends from Syracuse University. At some point during Reed's employment as an in house songwriter at Pickwick, John Cale was brought in as part of a fictional band who would perform some of Reed's songs. A bond was struck and Reed soon moved to Manhattan to work on some music with Cale. Reed was reunited with Morrison by chance on the subway and they rekindled their friendship, which led to Morrison making it a trio. They recorded a four-song demo, which included versions of "Venus in Furs" and "Heroin" and was heavily circulated in England. Enough so that John Cale flew to the U.K. to try and hook some things up for the band when an offer was made at home in New York.

The Velvet Underground are one of my favorite bands.
Im sure, (I hope) that most of you know who Lou Reed is.
And I also Hope that you know who Andy Warhol is, The Velvets did many things with him.

The Velvet Underground are awesome, and yeah Sister Ray is to, 17 minutes long but never boring! But i like there not weird stuff as much as i do the weird stuff, like Sweet Jane, great track. I think ive got all their albums, i found this "missing" album of theirs in Music zone called VU, its really good.

I looooove them. At the moment my favorites are Stephanie Says and After Hours.
Just a question, who sings in After Hours?
