What is All yesterdays' parties : the Velvet Underground in print : 1966-1971 about?

The Velvet Underground are among the most influential bands of all time. Their trademark sound is easily detected in David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Talking Heads, R.E.M., Jane’s Addiction, Yo La Tengo, Luna, and the Strokes, and they are also credited with creating a streetwise, pre-punk sensibility that has become inseparable from the popular image of downtown New York. “Discovered” by Andy Warhol in 1966, the VU-with their original line-up of Lou Reed, John Cale, Sterling Morrison, and Mo Tucker-would soon become the house band of the avant-garde, composing songs simultaneously furious in their abrasiveness and beautiful in their pathos, standing in striking contrast to the prevailing flower power of the era.With such a notorious pedigree, it’s only natural that the story of the VU has become shrouded in myth and hyperbole. __All Yesterdays’ Parties__ gathers for the first time almost all of the published writings contemporary with the band’s existence-from sources as mainstream as the New York Times to vanished voices of the counterculture like Oz, Open City, Fusion, and Crawdaddy! It’s an invaluable snapshot of an era by trailblazing rock writers such as Lester Bangs, Robert Greenfield
