Mighty Ninja Rock
You have an order. A command. An absolute must.
The next time that Fist of Dishonor are playing in Portland (which would be Sat. the 19th at Dante’s) You.Must.Go.See.Them.
Ninjas motivated by the Power of Rock. The band is comprised of five ninjas – who throughout their set, must battle with various foe – on stage martial arts battles, flaming swords, gymnastics feats such as arrows being shot with the feet from a handstand position, and of course the rock. Half comedy, half musical performance, half acrobatics (yup – the ninjas are so mighty they have three halves) their show last night at The Ash Street was one of the most entertaining live performances I’ve seen in a long time.
And so I echo their kung fu battle cry…
Never Trust a Samurai!
Never Fight Fair!
Never Put Shuriken in Your Underwear!
The full band complement numbers an even dozen, apparently – not all musicians but, rather, more folks to add to the spectacle. Fan-freakin’-tastic.
