A Closer Look At Macaulay Culkin's Velvet Underground/Pizza Tribute Band

It doesn't make it any less weird...

More The Pizza Underground The Pizza Underground

If you've been anywhere near the internet over the past few days then you'd be aware that, yes, child star Macaulay Culkin is in a band called The Pizza Underground, and, yes, they are a Velvet Underground tribute band that play Velvets songs but make them about pizza.

Well now you can get a little bit more insight into what the band are all about as a new short film about the group has surfaced on YouTube. First Concert By The Pizza Underground is a 15 minutes film made by New York musician and visual artist Toby Goodshank

The video sees them playing tracks such as Papa John Says, I'm Waiting for Delivery Man, Pizza Gal, All The Pizza Parties and Take a Bite of the Wild Slice, in which Culkin plays a kazoo solo in place of the classic Ronnie Ross solo in the Lou Reed original.

While it gives a little more of a look into how much fun these guys are having with the project, it honestly does not make it seem any less weird.
