Twelve Foot Ninja are lunching their EP Smoke Bomb this Saturday night at SFX Niteclub (inside the St James Hotel.)
Twelve Foot Ninja are set to slice and dice audiences with their blend of genre-hopping music.
Fusing together alternative rock, funk, metal, dub and world sounds the Twelve Foot Ninja are a hard rock band breaking all the sound boundaries.
A head of the EP launch on Saturday the 6th of December, Music Feeds’ Jason Strange caught up with Nik Barker
Music Feeds: The New EP Smoke Bomb is out, tell us a bit about it?
Twelve Foot Ninja: Smoke Bomb is basically made up of songs that have been a part our live repertoire for a while now. We thought it was only fair to release these songs for our fans. It is a much clearer indication of what we do live. It also doubles as a diversionary tactic to allow us some more time to work on our debut album.
MF: What’s the story of the Twelve Foot Ninja?
TFN: In a nut-shell, the story is about a sole warrior’s quest to emancipate the world from the ever-constricting grip of tyranny.
MF: What’s on the cards for 2011 for the Ninjas?
TFN: In the first half of 2011 we plan on releasing our debut album, which will mean more touring, and hopefully some radio-play. Then we hope to tour areas that, without radio-play, are virtually inaccessible to us at this point in time.
MF: What are you hoping Santa will being you for Xmas?
TFN: A return on our initial investment of cookies and brandy, with interest!….Oh, and some radio-play!
MF: Finish this sentence ‘Ninja are cool because…?”
TFN: Ninjas never have to explain or justify their coolness!
MF: What can we expect from the SFX Niteclub gig this Saturday?
TFN: Music, raw energy, passion, and a few inaudible anecdotes courtesy of our guitarist Stevic.
MF: Do you wish you were opening for Axl and Guns N Roses this Saturday?
TFN: We’re just happy he agreed to open for us! God bless him!
MF: What’s one thing about Twelve Foot Ninja readers wouldn’t know?
TFN: That one of the causes upon which this band was formed, was a severe dislike of coriander.
MF: What would be first song you’d put on a mix-tape?
TFN: What a Fool Believes – The Doobie Brothers (Naturally!)
