Members of TV on the Radio, etc. Will Cover Lou Reed at This Tribute Show

Halloween has passed, taking its tribute bands with it, but on Nov. 24 at Bowery Electric, a slew of artists will try to do justice to the late, great Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground at a tribute show that’s being dubbed “Last Great American Whale.” The lineup is still in flux but the list of early confirmations, below, is impressive — and includes everyone from a couple of members of TV on the Radio to some musicians who actually played with Reed. Proceeds from the $20 go toward the Ali Forney Center for at-risk LGBT youth.

And speaking of tributes, Mike DeCapite, who appeared on our , has shared some thoughts about losing Lou over at Boogie Woogie Flu.
