Bio

In feudal Japan, ancient ninjas utilized metal in tools and weapons to aid them in their missions and in their lives. It’s only natural that a modern band called NINJA should do the same.

NINJA is a five piece and fully ninja garbed, heavy rock music act based in Portland, OR.

“Schtick bands can be a touchy subject. They only work if the band is convincing enough to make the audience believe that they live the schtick—see any Def Leppard tribute band with the authenticity to employ a single-armed drummer—otherwise the gimmick falls flat. Naturally, Portland's Ninja dress like ninjas at their shows. The band appears out of the shadows fully shrouded in black with weapons attached to their backs and only their fierce, confrontational eyes exposed. They then take the stage and cut you down with spastic, experimental hardcore. Their vocalist, who goes by the name of Throat Rot, screams and flails about the stage—and audience—with little regard for his own personal safety. During Musicfest NW last year the band emerged on the sidewalk near Satyricon, played a quick six-minute set, then vanished into the night.”
