About  
The
INJURED NINJA knows only victory
or death – there is no compromise. The well-honed skills of any Ninja are
calculated and precise, silent and deadly, these fit fighting warriors would
never be disgraced by falling in the heat of battle. Only the most catastrophic of cataclysmic events could deter such a silent and deadly master and shake him off his mortal coil - what would happen if the seasoned warrior was bested? What power would emerge when the Ninja is pushed to the edge? Injured Ninja is a collective of four like minded musical entities that produce a sonically rich and dominating force that meddles with the brain and grooves within the body. It's music that sounds like the end of the world is nigh, and that every soul on the planet is determined to scream, dance and party with every iota of their remaining energy on this, their fateful final night on Earth. Words fail to describe the sound the Ninja can produce, but 'intense' is one that we've noticed thrown around quite regularly of late. Modern sounds erupting from primitive instruments, electrons flow in kaleidoscopic movement - blurring sonic spectral fields into simulacra of grooves and energies. Its music to make you think, alert your senses, make you feel alive and engaged. Injured Ninja is comprised of Steven Aaron Hughes, Dominic Pearce, Jake Steele and Matthew Bairstow.
In their western homelands
the Ninja is notorious for insane improvisational gigs and intense set
performances, playing with a myriad of different styled bands and quickly
becoming one of the most unique acts playing the various noise hovels of Perth.
One of the most fascinating new
bands to emerge out of Perth, Western Australia - a blend of bent
electronics, noise rock and dance music – the unique
sonic attack of the Ninja is a force to be reckoned with and a prime new
Australian experimental band with big things anticipated for 2010.
Having toured to the spiritual homeland of Japan in February 2009 and making
their first venture to the east coast of Australia in December, Injured Ninja released their first
single ‘IDDQD’ (a split 12” with the
psychedelic gravy of French Rockets)
through local experimental label Heartless
Robot Records in January 2010. The
single went on to take out the prestigious ‘WAMi
Most Popular Single/EP’ award topping much more prolific major label
artists. Featuring high quality self-produced music videos the single
has
struck a chord in their hometown of Perth and acts as a grand precursor
to
their debut album, which will be recorded in June with the assistance of
a WA
Department of Culture and Arts production grant.
