Episode Synopsis "The Feelies :: Some Kinda Love: Performing The Music Of The Velvet Underground"

The Feelies connection to the Velvet Underground goes long and deep. As gawky teenagers, Glenn Mercer and Bill Millions put VU on the same tier as the Beatles. Their jittery, drone-y, laconically delivered Crazy Rhythms sounded like no one else, except possibly the Velvets. The band covered “What Goes On” on their 1988 album Only Life, and, about the same time, got a chance to play a show with Lou Reed at the Orpheum Theatre in New York City. Reed himself once told Bill Millions that the Feelies were the only band that ever “got” the Velvet Underground. The post The Feelies :: Some Kinda Love: Performing The Music Of The Velvet Underground appeared first on Aquarium Drunkard.
