Velvet Underground at the Factory

“Andy Warhol's Factory, New York, 1966. Lou Reed and John Cale rehearse with Nico under silver foil walls. Foreground shows Reed's guitar, Cale's electric viola, and Maureen Tucker on standing tom drums; midground reveals Warhol filming on a 16mm Bolex and Edie Sedgwick dancing; aluminum-wrapped pipes and stencils set the stage for a sound that would rewrite rock.”
