Band Information

Twelve Foot Ninja is a Melbourne band with a progressive approach that combines rock and metal with funk, reggae and other influences, offered described as being similar to late-period Faith No More. The band's first EP 'New Dawn' gained some popularity after the track "Dark Passenger" scored high rotation on Triple J. Later in the year, they toured with Mammal and appeared at the Pyramid Rock Festival. 2010's 'Smoke Bomb' EP was also a moderate success, with Twelve Foot Ninja playing at Sydney's Come Together Festival the same year. Numerous support slots followed including 2011 tours with Periphery and Tesseract and Thousand Needles in Red. A twenty-date national tour with Dead Letter Circus and Fair to Midland followed in mid-2012. The band's first album was preceded by a twelve-week campaign beginning in August, dubbed Project 12, that saw each track released digitally per week, accompanied by a comic drawn by UK artist Keith Draws, developing Steve Mackay's original ninja storyline. In July 2013, Twelve Foot Ninja supported Fear Factory nationally before heading out on their own headlining tour that will be followed up by US shows with Dead Letter Circus and Periphery.
