Band Review (Twelve Foot Ninja)

Twelve Foot Ninja

Twelve Foot Ninja (From L to R) Rohan Hayes, Shane Russell, Kin Etik, Damon McKinnon, Steve Mackay

 Twelve Foot Ninja are an alternative five piece from Melbourne, Australia. Twelve Foot Ninja formed in '08 and have since gathered a dedicated fan base. The band has released one studio album and two EPs and are currently signed with Volkanik Records. Twelve Foot Ninja perform a mix of heavy riff driven rock to reggae funk influenced rock tracks. 

 Kin provides vocals for Twelve Foot Ninja with guitarists Steve and Rohan with bassist Damon and most imortantly Shane on the drums.

 Since their formation in '08, Twelve Foot Ninja have risen to fame in Australia and are breaking through in Europe and the US. For their debut album, a track and matching comic was released on the twelve week run up to the release, this was known as "PROJECT 12", this added a lot of intrigue into the bands personality and style which undoubtedly drew in curiosity from listeners. Twelve Foot Ninja are known for their extensive fan interaction and appreciation.

 Twelve Foot Ninja are not touring at present as they have just finished a spring time tour in the US. On the other hand, Twelve Foot Ninja are in the process of writing a new album for a release next year (just speculation) so that could entail a tour. 

 Twelve Foot Ninja can be found in a variety of places on the Internet but here are the links that you need to know. Facebook page is here, twitter page here, youtube channel here and finally an official site here.

 To close, here is the director's cut music video for their latest single, Ain't That a Bitch. This video showcases Twelve Foot Ninja's skill at music video creation (Video linked here for mobile users)
