Richie Unterberger: White Light/White Heat: the Velvet Underground Story August 9, 2009

From 1965 to 1970, the Velvet Underground was instrumental in breaking new barriers in rock music in the controversial subjects their lyrics addressed and the experimental sounds they introduced into rock arrangements. Richie Unterberger's 'White Light/White Heat: The Velvet Underground Day-By-Day' is by far the most comprehensive book on the Velvet Underground ever published. His presentation about the Velvet Underground at Comix will use rare audiovisual material to tell the story of this legendary band, including film clips; little-heard recordings from throughout their career; and pictures and posters of the group in their 1965-70 prime, many of them seldom seen.
