About Me

New single SCARFACE
Watch our Scarface video clip now! Made by NARAFI and Hans Pannecoucke
The best way to describe this band is: energy! If you ever saw them play, you know what I mean. Needle kicks ass on a 2 square meter stage, or blows up a mega theatre.
Their biosphere is Gent - Belgium, and if you even get closer to our epicentre you are entering the incredible cool underground label and club Kinky Star.
Needle started their endless jam sessions around the magical year 2000, and finetuned a steamy live set with sticky melodies and a lot of guitar power.
The first release came in 2004 with the full CD 'Obsessions Of An Epic Womanizer' - (label: Kinky Star Records).
The second full CD 'Pheromone' was recorded at Temple Studios - Malta, engineered, arranged and produced by David Vella (Rammstein, Phillip Boa and the Voodoo Club, Dave Lombardo, Zornik,...) www.templestudios.com.
In March 2006 Needle played at CMW Toronto, and did a great support act for guitar legend Chris Spedding (Roxy Music, Brian Eno, John Cale) www.chrisspedding.com.

Also, some new recordings for Belgian radio: Needle & The Pain Reaction rocked the Urgent.fm-studio on Feb. 22nd, and we have the photos by Genthology, and the recording on podcast, including a BRAND NEW SONG CALLED 'BANG BANG'!

Enjoy!

I was made for loving you

This video was shot in Malta on february 14th, Valentine's day. We could not be with our girlfriends so Peter had the glorious idea to make an a capella version of this monster KISS hitsingle for our loved ones back home. Well, hmmm, we knew it worked when we got back home ;-))
