For a moment, a very quick moment, I thought Bootsy Collins was in the house. As it turned out, Bootsy had other plans and it was Needlegun that put on the funk…well, funky noise anyway.

Needlegun is a very innovative band. Some mind call it genius. Some might call it 4-5 guys jacking off on stage. Whatever they’re doing, I like it. I like it alot. What I don’t like is that this is the second time I’ve seen them and they played only 15 minutes at both shows. Sure, they packed alot of shit in those fifteen minutes, but, come on. If someone walked outside, just as the band took the stage, and smoked a cigarette, by the time they came back in, the set was half over. I’ve seen this before, with one of my favorite local bands, The Degenerettes. They used to play 15, 20 minutes tops and always left the audience wanting more. I think in their case, it was more that the band didn’t have anything else to play. With Needlegun, you can’t use that excuse…this shit is improv and by the looks of it, they could have gone on all day.
