Description

About the Book

Book Synopsis

The Velvet Underground is arguably one of the most influential American rock bands ever. Based on interviews with former members Lou Reed, John Cale, and Sterling Morrison, as well as others from Andy Warhol's circle of artistic collaborators, Up-Tight is the definitive oral and visual history of the band and its revolutionary, often avant-garde music. Bockris and Malanga's intelligent and entertaining approach-which does not shy away from the drugs, sleaze, and controversy that enveloped the band seemingly from its inception-provides compulsive reading.

Review Quotes

Up Tight is perhaps the definitive Velvet Underground biography... and never shies away from the sleazy truth.

Up-Tight: The Velvet Underground Story by Victor Brockris and Gerard Malanga is a pretty candid peek into this legendary group.

Told through delightfully bitchy quotes and contemporary diary entries...
