PSYCHEDELIC ROCK - VELVET UNDERGROUND - Somebody to Love / She Comes in Colours - 1970

Pérola formada em Newcastle, na Austrália em 1967. A banda Velvet Underground (não confundam com a de mesmo nome dos EUA) foi ativa até 1972 e lançou apenas um compacto em 1970. Após várias mudanças de formação, contando até com a presença do jovem guitarrista Malcolm Young entre 1971-72, o grupo se desfez e vários membros integraram a Ted Mulry Gang.
O single traz dois bons covers de Jefferson Airplane ("Somebody to Love") e Love ("She Comes in Colours"). As influências de bandas psicodélicas/ hippies da costa oeste americana são evidentes, com fortes solos de guitarra e órgão e momentos viajantes. Nada de especial, mas interessante pérola para fãs de rock psicodélico dos anos 60.

The band Velvet Underground (do not confuse with the American one) was formed in Newcastle, Australia in 1967. They were active until 1972 and has only released a single in 1970. After several lineup changes, presence of the young guitarist Malcolm Young between 1971-72, the group disbanded and several members joined the Ted Mulry Gang.
The single brings two good covers of Jefferson Airplane ("Somebody to Love") and Love ("She Comes in Colours"). The influences of psychedelic / hippies of the West Coast bands are evident, with strong guitar and organ solos and trippy moments. Nothing special, but interesting pearl to 60s psychedelic rock fans.
