From stuff songwriter for PICKWICK..to cult edel punk
To promote his song 'The Ostrich' he recorded him with his band The PRIMITIVES, and landed
a small local hit in 1965.
Together with the classical trained Wales born John Cale he formed The VELVET UNDERGROUND
in 1966, helped by pop artist ANDY WARHOL they grew up to one of the most influental bands till today.
They didn't sell to many records, because they were known more localy in New York, but it' s told everybody
who bought one started an own group????!!
In 1970 he split from The VELVETs to start an sometimes very experimental Rock Songwriter solo career with
dark depressive punk-rock songs and social influenced lyrics. First 3 albums he recorded in the UK.
