I'm pretty sure it was Frank Turner from Million Dead that did the review' date=' so you can hold judgement on it. But, it said..

"Next, we've got Needles, 'Diane', which gets four; it gets minus points for nicking a title off Husker Du, and it gets further minus points for its press release referring to it as 'future retroism', which is also known as rehashing old ideas, and it also gets no points for sounding exactly like the Buzzcocks."[/quote']

There a strange bunch at rock sounds cuz if you see this months issue (july) there giving the band much love!

Got the cutting but no idea how to post it to prove there split personality disorder.

Legend!

It looks like central station.

Revolution?!

Way to support your local venues..err..not.

????

What a ridiclious statement

Seen as both the needles and the vandelays have played EVERY 'local venue' at least twice then can't really see any harm in playing somewhere different. Do you?

where is revolution? and is it over 18's

Do you live in a box?

Revolution is on Belmont street and is over 18s only. Should be a good night, there hireing a nice PA and clearing the tables out n stuff too

Fresh from (finally) finishing off there album at the mighty sawmills and due out next year

The Needles Play Revolution Sunday 4th

Along with The Vandelys.

Typical sign of a scammer' date=' joining up and their first post is somehow concerned with people parting with cash. plus the facts gleaned from other websites didn't correlate fully with what you said so I thought I'd put the mockers on it until someone contacted the band.

Curious about the promoter thing, how does that work, or do you mean you're just a random promoter trying to do the Needles some good (if you are, and you live in this village, why don't I know you?).[/quote']

Hopefully you will get to know me. I've been friends with the band for years and have helped them out on many an occasion with tours and the like.

Im a local lad and am now working with the Needles pretty much FT now on getting them gigs, promotion and genrally helping to get there name out there as best i can in conjunction with there publishers.

I swear im not a scammer as i have nothing to gain out of this other than getting the boys some decent gigs over the summer.

1. Who are you? Scott

2. What's your connection to the Needles. Promoter

3. T in the Park isn't listed as one of the five festivals. I know but its a gig we'll get to play if sucessfull

4. If they're "billed" they must already be booked' date=' cos they're on the "bill". Ok bad choice of words.

5. Strange how the original 10 bands have become 21, isn't it? Not that I'd suggest it was any kind of scam. Its not a scam.

6. I see you joined these boards just a few hours before posting this. Yes because as much as id like to be on this discussion fourm i don't have a computer at work and have little time at home.

7. Okay, it's a fair cop, I'm suggesting it's a scam. Its honestly not.

Sorry if this has rattled peoples cages or something by posting this but im just trying to do my best for the band.[/quote']

PS IM from Aberdeen not Weegieland or Cornwall

Need a MASSIVE favor from you ALL !!!

The Needles are billed

to play most of the major festivals over the summer (t in the park etc)

But! The promoters haven't guaranteed there place yet as they haven't

had any releases out this year so to get round this the band are

involved in this download comp. Meaning if the band get enough

interest on the downloads they'll be guaranteed to play them all!!

If you can PLEASE hit the link below and buy one of the Needles

downloads (for a bargain at 89p each!!) and forward this post to all your friends.

Thank you if you take the time to do this and Thanks for the support!

PS if we're sucessfull there'll be a party thorwn with free booze for all!
