Needle Up!

The Infringement Festival continues this weekend, culminating in a grand finale to be held at Nietzsche’s on Sunday (August 3). Saturday night (August 2), the festival infringes outside of Allentown, downtown to Soundlab (110 Pearl St.) with a show featuring local bands Iceberg, Qualia, Jupiter Jefferson, and Needle Up! (pictured). Needle Up! has appeared with numerous national acts including Juliette Lewis & the Licks, the Butchies, Rasputina, Matt Pond PA, Q & Not U, and Bitch (of Bitch & the Exciting Conclusion, Bitch & Animal, and Shortbus)—who reportedly declared Needle Up! to be her new favorite band. Quite an endorsement. Check them all out, starting at 9pm.
