The Needles are absolutely, categorically, unarguably the best band ever to have emerged out of the Aberdeen music scene - and I include Vomitus in that equation. On Saturday they played a great set and Dave Dixon is the ultimate frontman - as thin as he is mesmerising.
Hail Caesar started well, became mired in mediocrity in the middle of their set, but then redeemed themselves with 'I will cut you'.
I missed most of Dedalus but they sounded passable if not exactly to my taste. Also, the lead singer had 'paedophile hair' but I cant decide if that is a good or bad thing.
Sadly The Needles new CD was not for sale, which pissed me off, but other than that it was a good night.
