The group functionally disbanded in the early 1970s as everyone except Yule left the band. They released three more albums, White Light/White Heat (1968), The Velvet Underground (1969), and Loaded (1970), with Doug Yule replacing Cale for the final two, and with none performing up to the expectations of record labels or of Reed, the band's leader. Their debut album, The Velvet Underground & Nico (with German singer and model Nico), was released in 1967 to critical indifference and poor sales but has since drawn wide acclaim.
Pop artist Andy Warhol became their manager in 1966, and they served as the house band at Warhol's art collective known as " the Factory" and Warhol's traveling multimedia show, the Exploding Plastic Inevitable, from 1966 to 1967. Originally, the group performed under a number of names before settling on The Velvet Underground in 1965. The group's provocative subject matter, musical experiments, and often nihilistic attitudes also proved influential in the development of punk rock and new wave music. Their integration of rock and the avant-garde achieved little commercial success during the group's existence, but they are now recognized as one of the most influential bands in rock, underground, experimental, and alternative music. MacLise was replaced by Moe Tucker in 1965, who played on most of the band's recordings.
