Needle Points have been doing a bit of touring like all good psych bands should. After performing an impressive opening set at Plastic Little’s recent return show at Underground Arts (which led to a request by Red Bull Sound Select for them to perform at another one of its showcases), the free-lovin’/pro-psychedelics crew will be headlining Johnny Brenda’s for the first time tonight. I bet that they’ll make good use out of JB’s amassing collection of lighting toys. (BTW: R5 should book them for the Temples show this August at Morgan’s Pier already.) Needle Points will be joined by twangy Portland, OR (via New London, CT) Americana-rock outfit Quiet Life and The Bailey Hounds’ Chris Cardillo. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 9pm, $10, 21+ – Alexis V.
