Tenderloin Hooker Needles
From the San Francisco sidewalk cracks, where needles are left behind and their orange caps...we are the Tenderloin Hooker Needles. After much panhandling and harassing tourists and hard working people, we have decided to put out our 'arrrgtistic exxxpression' out for the world.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
THN has had several incantations in the past but never this solid (held together by cheap glue and saliva, really). We can't publish our story, for that people need to e-mail
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Ha!. It depends, we play live for our cats (they don't hit the junk!..no worries PETA) and every now and then people show up in a basement or two around the Tenderloin area, but our shows are too crazy. One time, by the end of the night, people were so gone, we woke up in what could have been G.G.Allin's toilet for all we know...but bigger and wetter I would assume.
Your musical influences
First and foremost, we would say Pungent Stench...then Brujeria, I guess...we don't know how to play for crap anyway....Burzum sounds like a Mozart in comparison to us, dude...
What equipment do you use?
Rickenbacker beat up bass with a Misfits sticker...Sonor drums with a beaten up Ludwig kicker, an Ibanez that has been so f**ed is not even funny..we have 2 donated macs...one is a relic because we accidentally pissed all over it and f'd it up.
