Twelve Foot Ninja

Focusing on a propulsive and hard-to-shoehorn mixture of searing alternative steel and shape-shifting, experimental rock and roll with progressive tendencies, Aussie quintet Twelve Base Ninja fall somewhere within the decibel-pounding onslaught of rings like Periphery and Between your Buried and Me personally, as well as the kitchen-sink eclecticism of Mr. Bungle. Shaped in Melbourne in 2008 across the abilities of Kin Etik, Shane Russell, Steve Mackay, Damon McKinnon, and Rohan Hayes, the music group released a flurry of singles and EPs between 2008 and 2011 before issuing their debut long-player, Silent Machine, in 2012. The music group spent another 3 years touring seriously — Silent Machine premiered in the us in 2014 — but ultimately returned towards the studio to begin with work on record number 2. The ensuing Outlier lowered in August, 2016, and quickly shot to the very best of Australian Musician Charts.
