INJURED NINJA is an epic sonic force that confronts
its audience with experimental Noise Rock and sythethsized electronic wizardry
creating a new aural atmosphere. The mysterious Ninja, attacks loud and
fiercely, with raw screaming guitars and pounding affected drums while
simultaneously drawing the listener into waves of electronic dubbed-out
ambience and pounding dance floor bass. With a punk rock meets technology
aesthetic and righteously dominating live sound, the Ninjas are notoriously
hard to define. More common descriptions are ‘Noise Punk’ or ‘Robot
Rock.’
Sometime around 2006 Ninja began as a dub / hip-hop
project including a DJ, added Vocalist and two guitarists – but as the band grew and
members departed, the band focused its sound into a fusion of the members
influences in Dub / Drum and Bass and Experimental Rock. In early 2008 the band
claimed a new drummer and recorded debut EP ‘Circuitboard’ in May that year. The Ninja is currently admired by both the indie
rock and experimental music scenes alike – commonly playing improvised
‘noise’ sets that have left audiences
stunned, screaming and buzzing while at the same time playing tightly rehearsed
rock sets at some of Perth’s most popular live venues.
“Scouring the earth for new sounds one may come
across the mysterious Injured Ninja clan born o ritual formed chaos and refined
noise. A harnessing of magical effects and wizardry, not many indie rock bands
can display such alchemy.”
