Exploding Plastic Inevitable

In 1963, Warhol was part of a rock band called The Druds along with Patty and Claes Oldenberg, Lucas Samaras, Jasper Johns, Walter De Maria, La Monte Young, and Larry Poons.

"[5] For it, Warhol and Paul Morrissey rented The Dom[6] from the two light artists, Rudy Stern and Jackie Cassen,[7] and had it painted white so that movies and slide projections could be cast on the walls in wallpaper-like fashion.

Slides were projected directly onto the films, whose sound tracks would sometimes be played, and thus blend in with the lengthy live atonal Velvet Underground improvisations and their dark, provocative songs like "All Tomorrow's Parties", "Heroin", "I'm Waiting for the Man", "Venus in Furs", and "Sister Ray".

shows, a barrage of flashing lights, multi-screened films, sadomasochistic mime, and noise music amplified into distortion, were later held in The Gymnasium in New York City and in various cities throughout Canada and the United States; including Chicago, Boston, Ann Arbor, Columbus, Ohio, Leicester, Massachusetts, Cleveland, Provincetown, Massachusetts, Los Angeles, and San Francisco where when asked to explain the Exploding Plastic Inevitable Warhol simply said that it's a totality.

[10] The Exploding Plastic Inevitable performed for the last time their sophisticated yet brutal mixture of film, art, loud music, hip fashion and new technology in May 1967, at Steve Paul's The Scene club in New York.
