Details:
Few bands can recover from the typical indie band scenario: group joins up, records a cd, tours a little, then disbands. Enter Needle Up!, a new group based in Buffalo NY redefining âgetting back together with an ex.â Originally formed in 2004, the indie trio quickly recorded and began playing dates across the Northeast. In only a few short months, the group had an EP and opening stints for Q & Not U, The Butchies, Matt Pond PA, and Rasputina. But later that year, something went sour and the group went their separate ways.

Three years later, a little older and wiser, the three regrouped in early 2007 and picked up right where they left off, quickly recording the full length cd that alluded them previously, and lining up a two week tour across much of the United States. Best described as a collage of all sorts of influences â PJ Harvey, Jeff Buckley, Q & Not U and Sleater Kinney to name a few, the band's sound is hard to pinpoint. A little bit indie, folk, experimental, mathy, and straight up rock, the group is rounded out by Joseph Mulhollen on guitar and vocals, Veronica Alvarez on bass, and Liz Holland on drums & synth/samples.
