Had a swell time this past week.
Thursday’s show in Raleigh at Tir na nog was quite a hoot. Seeing old pals, new gals and watching James Yopp rip through some classic needles tunes that haven’t see the light of stage in some years. Hat’s off to that cat! It was also our introduction to The Dirty Little Heaters. I could tell you this and I could tell you that but those dudes and mamma lay down super tough, mellow but gnarled, soulful but stomping rock’n'roll.
Thanks and nice meeting y’all

Wilmington’s show at Reggies 42nd St. was a blast as well except for being totally sleep depraved and having to go on at 1:00am. It destroyed. WHite Tiger destroyed, The DL Heaters shook walls. Botox party was super too. Real punk for real punks that like older or punk music that is real.

Chapel Hill’s show at the cave was like a flash back for me as I’ve played that place in various bands from a decade back and then some. Chrome Plated Apostles were tremendous and it’s always great watching our old pal Matt T. drum, hum and bust out the joke chum…

Truly a great, close to home stint that was good enough and fun enough for me to write about. The almost flat tire incident and the “out pal Dana only 10 minutes away” incident were something else but we, like always over came and delivered the goods. There’s no stopping The Needles… y’all know that right?

The week before was an ultra hoot. Again traveling with Flying V shredder James Yopp on stage right guitar… 07/10-Baltimore was a total blast although I doubt we’ll ever play the talking head club again. If I wanna get screwed like that I’ll go to some other tiny rock club with a shitty sound man. Thanks for the free drinks suck ass.
Always great hanging with our pals in White Tiger that got to feel what it’s like to get it in the ear on there first jaunt out. The Cold Cold heartbreakers… I watch and dance and get sticky pie fingers from there merch table. Always good to see Mr. and Mrs. Henry, Matt G. and Eric the Leaf (tell you about that later).

07/11 was and new one for us. Ocean City, MD. Never played there before. All I can say is I want to go back and they want us back asap. Win-win situation. Thanks for the grub and the suds, the shots and the clots. Thanks for the blurry vision you spiked my drink with. Let’s do it again real soon.

07/12 Big Steve’s birthday bash at Chichos. It was pouring down rain+Chichos was packed out+Ben’s sink got broke (heard from steve… wasn’t me bro…)+I ate too much pizza+the beer was a few degrees shy of ice cold=rocked out!

Great seeing all the new faces, the old faces, the faces that we don’t see anymore on this side or that side. Thanks for making our summer fun, fast, and out of control.

An even bigger thanks goes out to James Yopp for making these shows sound and feel totally rocked out. That cat’s a rock trooper!

Thanks a ton bro!
Wit Love,
CH

Great times up in Pittsburgh with Atomic Drops–over did it at Permanti’s–at 31st St. Maryland was a different story. If pics show up of the after show antics we’ll be banned if we’re not already. Outer Banks Brewing Station was another story all together. Great show and great bill. SUPERSUCKERS sound great in that joint. The ride home was the worst part of the trip… and yeah, my new amp rips. Oh yeah… I’m drinking sangria (get it?)

Go go!

Aw S#*t!

Howdy folks how yall do n. The Needles are back from summer break and on a tear. We will be playing some real soon and cant wait to see you all! Our next show will be in the OBX where it has been flat for 3 weeks. That explains the Aw S#*t… yeah we are playing on the the 22nd of August as a benefit for a fallen soldier of rocknroll Matt O of The Candy Snatchers.

Thurs Sept 4. we will be at home in Wilmington NC. Sept 5. we will be in Pittsburgh Pa at The 31st Street Pub. Sept 6. will be in Frostburgh Md. with Atomic Drops and Sept 7. in Kill Devil Hills NC. with The Supersuckers. I cant wait for that one. Not only do I enjoy The Supersuckers as they are a great live rock band but we are locked on for some tasty waves that time a year so the loc’s will be restless.

Oh Yeah keep your ear to the floor and you’ll start hearing the pulse of some new Needles rock coming your way thanks to Steve Baise. Dude rocks till he dies. It says so on his arm. Also sorry we are out of Meet The Needles them shits is out a press. See you all soon and E mail us either here or www.myspace.com/theneedles
