Ninjafest eh?...
The title alone is enough.

Gooch - 9-19-2006 at 03:02 PM

almost half the bands playing are from the US. Weird.

BULLDOZE.

CR83 - 9-19-2006 at 03:36 PM

Can anyone give me a heads up on Bulldoze? Rick Healy made reference to a guy from Bulldoze who was headed to jail on a commin' correct album and that is all I have heard of them.

Thanks!

They should actually stop having bands and make this an actual ninja fest... like throwing star workshops, how to make your own blowgun... for the hotties(and anyone whose seen any weird Japanese ninja girl flicks will get it) ninja sex craft class, and how to wear hot black outfits to tempt all the potential targets.

How much better would that be than having a bunch of kids in crooked hats doing spin kicks to most shitty hardcore bands?

I would be tempted to attend an event of this caliber myself, I always wanted to improve my throwing star abilities.

Went 2002, was pretty cool and more underground bands that blew me away. Totally awesome dudes that are organising this. The london hardcore scene is brilliant!

agreed. (the manchester hardcore scene is quite good also).

So long as you tell the organizers to at least get some real ninjas to go to the fest I'll allow it to still be called "ninjafest."

JawnDiablo - 9-21-2006 at 07:21 PM

ninjas were the coolest in the 80s
there were ninja movies cropping up everywhere

Bulldoze was an excellent band,heavy tough guy hardcore,beatdown style...haha...or so they called it.Go and buy "The final Beatdown" if you can find a copy....good shit.
Denied did an amazing cover of a Bulldoze song called "The Truth" on their Together as none CD.

Hi.

Im one of the organisers. The name "Ninjafest" is tongue in cheek. Anyname that has "fest" in it should be tongue in cheek we feel.

There will be no Ninjas although feel free if you are coming to dress up as a ninja. haha

Half the bands are american because the majority of the american bands booked euro/uk tours around the fest because its THAT good

Just ask any band that has played in the past 4 years.

But thanks to the first dude for doing the bit of promo for us

oh and me and the other two organisers are girls. Not dudes. heh. Girls know how to do shit right heh.

May...

May, myself and my girlfriend are pretty keen on flying out there from Johannesburg for next year's ninjafest. Can you give me a headsup as early as possible as to whether next year will happen, and what dates roundabout so we can book well in advance?

May - 9-30-2006 at 03:25 PM

The minute we decide, i will post it up here

May welcome to the Thorp Board. I'm raising money to buy Dave Moral a plane ticket and a ninja costume as we speak, so hopefully he'll be in attendance. Got luck with the show, and keep us posted of any updates.

May - 10-1-2006 at 06:43 AM

Thanks BD! Will do!

JoeBenzon - 10-9-2006 at 02:55 PM

stoked that wisdom in chains got on it.

but yeah...bulldoze.

May - 10-10-2006 at 08:59 PM

Not as stoked as I was.

Their shows in May were some of the best shows of 06

Someone has to cover "Kung-Fu Fighting" or this will all just be a total waste.
