John Cale
"John Cale is a fucking elitist. He did not like the people he was playing for. He's Welsh, and they're all nasty bastards."

Nat Finkelstein

Fear Is A Man's Best Friend - John Cale

New York 1965-12-11

Spectro-Mach 1 flyer

Takes part in Spectro-Mach 1 at the Film-makers' Cinematheque in New York (December 7-12).

It is a multimedia performance by photographer, poet, and printer Don Snyder with Angus MacLise, Ralph Metzner, Allen Neff, and Diane Rebuff. He supplies the music with MacLise - minimalist drone compositions - for a showing of psychedelic visual projections.

Cale is not credited in the flyer that was used to promote the performances.

Note: The Velvet Underground did their first gig at the Summit High school, Summit, New Jersey on this day, so it is uncertain that Cale was performing in New York as well.
