THE NEEDY VISIONS from Boston, MA, released their debut lp in May 2010. They also have a 9 song tape out, called "The Door's Open"."WE WANT TO PLAY YOUR HOUSE, YOUR TOWN, YOUR SISTER'S TOWN, YOUR BOYFRIEND'S TOWN. LET US PLAY!!!!!!!!!!! GET IN TOUCH! WE AIM TO HAVE A GOOD TIME ALL THE TIME."
I guess this sums it up: THE NEEDY VISIONS indeed sound as if they could throw a perfect party. And it is really amazing how much they sound like the KINKS on some tracks, especially the lead singer. But also BRIAN ENO's pop albums come to mind.
THE NEEDY VISIONS are part of the "new Boston underground scene", among the likes of Truman Peyote, Major Stars, Many Mansions, General Interest, and Drug Rug.
