To celebrate the release of ‘The Frozen Borderline’ compilation (free copies of which we’ll be giving away, courtesy of Rhino Records) and 40 years since the first Velvet Underground album, Sonic Cathedral presents a very special Sunday afternoon and evening paying tribute to our favourite icon – Nico. We will be screening rare footage, including the little seen 1972 film ‘The Inner Scar’, and playing music by and inspired by Nico and the Velvet Underground. To conclude there will be some very special live performances, including never to be repeated cover versions. The full line-up will be revealed on the day, but confirmed to date are Dot Allison, The Butterflies Of Love and The Left Outsides.

Beautiful AND a racist... *clutches heart*

You know... I like Nico's solo stuff, but I've never understood all this romance of the Velvet Underground and their ilk. What's the deal? Lou Reed is a miserable twat in sunglasses. John Cale is a genius, but boring. Nico is a psychotic junkie... All off their tits on whatever and gloomy and boring beyond belief! There's nothing iconic about that for me, it's all BORING!

Art Brut said it better than I but still, I don't understand it... And if I hear one more person say

"Hardly anyone bought Velvet Underground records when they are released... but everyone who did went out and formed a band"

Then I will scream!
