# All Tomorrow's Parties: The Velvet Underground Story - Hardcover

by **Koren Shadmi** (Author)

**An examination of some of rock'n'roll's most iconic figures--The Velvet Underground & Andy Warhol--and the loaded push-pull relationship that distorted their lives and echoed throughout popular culture.**

Many cultural critics would agree that Andy Warhol gave the Velvet Underground their break simply by bringing them under his wing. While they reached a certain level of notoriety and local celebrity in their time and have since acquired a lasting cult following, their success was in large part fostered by Warhol's patronage. But at the time, this relationship was muddied by a certain level of codependence and an insatiable appetite for fame and irony, leaving Reed to ponder quietly: Would we have succeeded without Warhol's help? This doubt begins to spread like a malignant force, eventually leading to the band's undoing as they break away from Warhol and, perhaps, give up their golden ticket to success.

Explore the story behind the group _The New York Times_ called "arguably the most influential American rock band of our time," through good times and bad, as captured in emotive style by multi-award winning artist Koren Shadmi (_Twilight Man, Love Addict: Confessions of a Serial Dater_).
