Imagine this - a band founded by famous artists! The Druds was a short-lived
avant-garde noise music band founded by Andy Warhol in 1963.
Prominent members of the New York art community performed with the group, including:
Drums:
Walter De Maria (his 1977 dirt-filled installation, New York Earth Room, is located in a SoHo loft)
Guitar:
Painter Larry Poons
(I took our art gallery groups to see his current show at Yares Gallery)
Lead Singer:
Poet Patty Mucha (who was married to sculptor Claes Oldenburg)
Lyrics:
Artist and printmaker Jasper Johns and Pop Art star Andy Warhol (I took our art gallery groups
to see a current show on Warhol at David Benrimon Gallery)
