AnotherVU: A Tribute to The Velvet Underground + Nico
AnotherVU bring their incredible multimedia tribute to The Velvet Underground + Nico – and their iconic shows with Andy Warhol – to Future Yard on Saturday 28th November 2026.
This project had long been an ambition for all of the band’s members, but when multi-instrumentalist Cam Forrester began producing Velvets–related content on YouTube in 2021 and subsequently built a strong following, real demand for a live show was evident, given the scarcity of footage of the original band.
After posting an online ad in 2022, multi-instrumentalist Kyle Hill joined on bass; guitarist Bobby Tamarali followed in December 2024, and drummer Ella Wallace-Manning in February 2025, completing the core lineup.
“We’re working on both accurately reproducing the Velvets’ seminal music, and recreating the groundbreaking multimedia shows they performed during their collaboration with Andy Warhol during 1966-1967.
Throughout 2025 we’ve self-funded rehearsals, investing in vintage instruments, amps and lighting equipment, and even hand-building discontinued items in order to faithfully recreate these culturally significant events for a modern audience – especially those who never experienced this pioneering moment in art and music history firsthand.
Since rock and roll no longer dominates the cultural landscape as it did in the 1960s, we invite people of all ages and backgrounds – musicians, students, creatives, long-time fans and curious newcomers alike – to rediscover the excitement of an almost entirely analogue multimedia event.
Inspired by Andy Warhol’s multimedia vision and original EPI lighting designer Danny Williams’ electrical innovations – which were influential to the development of psychedelic light shows, and later disco, rave, and contemporary stage lighting – our light shows will consist of manually controlled strobes (operated in rhythm with the music), as well as coloured spot lamps, aimed at our custom-built reproduction of Warhol’s antique mirror ball, creating orbiting polka dot reflections all around.
Additionally, a liquid light show will produce psychedelic convection current visuals against the rear stage wall, alongside slide/moiré projections, and the sole digital element of the show, which is new Another VU film projections (replacing the original 16mm Warhol films of the Velvets).
The result will be a mesmerising explosion of electrifying sound and kaleidoscopic imagery – just like the original, and now legendary EPI.” – Cam Forrester
