John Cale (Velvet Underground) and David Byrne (Talking Heads). They appeared together at the Ocean Club NYC on July 21 1976 as John Cale and Friends. Patti Smith and Chris Speeding were also in the band. Cale assembled the band to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Andy Warhol's Factory during the Bicentennial summer. Cale was very excited about producing the Talking Heads first album but he mentioned the band to Brian Eno and guess who ended up as the producer?
