Musicadium hearts Twelve Foot Ninja!
Melbourne’s stealthy hard rock act, Twelve Foot Ninja, is a band on the rise.
We asked Steve from the band about their awesome comic strip, their live show, upcoming shows at Pyramid Rock Festival and with Mammal and his non-existant guitar amp.
We in the Musicadium office were super-impressed at Steve and the bands’ outlook on their live show. They like to stay on top of how their listeners think and listen to music. They believe that people are firmly engrained in the IPod Shuffle mentality, listening to a single track and moving on to another band and perhaps another genre entirely with the click of the next button.
To combat this fan boredom, they write music that varies wildly in genre and mood, though it is all tied together through their multimedia approach which includes artwork, a comic strip, online content and literature available through TFN’s website.
Steve said that their music is basically ‘clever music for the iPod generation’ i.e. people who get bored very quickly with their music listening.
When asked about their upcoming performance at Pyramid Rock Festival, Steve said that they are going to bring something different to what the crowd has seen before. Steve said that they are very critical of their live set, they are always trying to perfect the show, but not choreograph it, so that the improvisation and creativity does not wither and die.
We at Musicadium loved talking to Steve and we really want Twelve Foot Ninja to come and play in Brisbane, Queensland!

There is sooo much more to this band than meets the ear. I recently got obsessed with the “story” on their website about a ninja called Kiyoshi. Got frustrated that they only put up the first 3 chapters……but their song words make more sense now….kind of.
