I Spent a Week There the Other Night is the third solo studio album by the American musician Moe Tucker, released in 1991 by New Rose.
Included on the album is a cover version of "Then He Kissed Me", originally by the Crystals, as well as a cover of the Velvet Underground's song "I'm Waiting for the Man". I Spent a Week There the Other Night was reissued in 1994.
Production The album has performances by members of the Velvet Underground, including Lou Reed, Sterling Morrison and John Cale. All four original Velvets play together on "I'm Not", making it their only studio collaboration on original material since 1968. Members of Violent Femmes also contributed to the album. Tucker stuck mostly to rhythm guitar.
Critical reception
The Orlando Sentinel wrote that "the basement minimalism is perfect for her ingenuous songs and flat but expressive vocals." Trouser Press praised "Lazy", writing that, "for a 46-year-old mother of five, 'Lazy' is pure punk perfection."
