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 is told,
everybody who bought one LP 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.
