...passed away this week... R.I.P.
He was a fixture of the Cincinnati underground music scene for decades. More famous for the record, Wild Angels, produced by his friend Lou Reed, and infamous for its S&M chic album cover (see link)....
I guess I'll never know if he was putting me on when he told me the name of the band he was in w/ Lou Reed, pre-Velvet Underground.... In any case, I couldn't repeat it.

Cincinnati's best kept secret, and best band (with a shout-out to Fruit LoOops, a very close runner up) -but Lashes packs so much power into such a small package (drum and base/vocals duo). Link has some tracks, though seeing them live, for the rare times they play out, is a must.
