[QUOTE]Macaulay Culkin has formed a pizza-related Velvet Underground tribute band.
Billed as Pizza Underground, the group brings together Culkin and four musicians from New York's anti-folk scene: Matt Colbourn, Phoebe Kreutz, Deenah Vollmer and Austin Kilham. Some 23 years after he starred in Home Alone, Culkin is credited with "percussion/kazoo/vocals".
Last week, the band released their debut: a demo tape featuring treasures such as I'm Waiting for Delivery Man and All the Pizza Parties. One highlight is the melancholy ballad Cheese Days, a take on These Days. "Cheese days," they sing, in tremulous strains. "I don't do too much toppings these days / [These] days I seem to order cheese, and don't say please, and then I walk away." Look out for Culkin's kazoo solo on Take a Bite of the Wild Slice.
Formed in February 2012, the Pizza Underground have performed recent gigs at Comic Arts Brooklyn and in early November, for a Lou Reed tribute show at anti-folk landmark the Sidewalk Cafe. Culkin's prior musical resume consists of cameos in music videos, including work with anti-folk icon Adam Green. From Green it is only a small hop to Kreutz, described by the New Yorker as "kingpin of the joke-folk genre".
The Pizza Underground's demo was recorded "live at Macaulay Culkin's house" in November 2013. No album has yet been promised.[/QUOTE]

The best part of Velvet underground to me were the transsexual groupies at the factory.
Will he emulate this much desired part of the band?
Oh jesus life has not been good to him. I feel awful just seeing pictures of him.
It sucks that he'll always been known as "the kid from Home Alone" and nothing else.

Kazoo is the best instrument.
