Squeeze (The Velvet Underground Album)
''Squeeze'' is the fifth and final studio album released under The Velvet Underground band name, recorded in the autumn of 1971 and released in Feb 1973 by Polydor Records. The album features no members of the Lou Reed-era group other than multi-instrumentalist Doug Yule, who wrote and recorded the album almost entirely by himself.

Following the departures of the remaining founding members (Reed and Sterling Morrison), Yule was positioned as the de facto leader of the band. Longtime drummer Maureen Tucker was slated to appear on ''Squeeze'' by Yule, but she was dismissed by the band's manager, Steve Sesnick. Following a brief promotional tour for the album by Yule and a backing band, Yule called it quits, bringing the Velvet Underground to an end. The ...

The Velvet Underground
The Velvet Underground was an American rock band formed in New York City in 1964. The original line-up consisted of singer/guitarist Lou Reed, multi-instrumentalist John Cale, guitarist Sterling Morrison, and drummer Angus MacLise. MacLise was replaced by Moe Tucker in 1965, who played on most of the band's recordings. Their integration of rock and the avant-garde achieved little commercial success during the group's existence, but they are now recognized as one of the most influential bands in rock, underground, experimental, and alternative music. The group's provocative subject matter, musical experiments, and often nihilistic attitudes also proved influential in the development of punk rock and new wave music. The group performed under several names before settling on the Velvet Underground in 1965, inspired by the book of the same name. In 1966, pop artist Andy Warhol became their manager, and they served as the house band at Warhol's studio, the Factory, and his tra ...

After this parting of ways, Coverdale temporarily took over Whitesnake's business side. During 1982, the new ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
