Our badass editor in chief Helen bach barked out the orders: "Shinobi Ninja have some upcoming concerts, we want to tell the world. Can you do it fast?" Fast is what I do. And I love Shinobi any way so it is real cool to be writing about them.SN are currently in the studio putting the finishing touches on a new album (20 songs in the can) and from everything I've heard, it might not simply capture but also improve on their live sound. And their live sound is pretty damn good.
Here is what drummer Dave Machinest sent Helen:
We're playing into the night Friday and Saturday and all night during CMJ (because "rock never sleeps"):

OK, looks pretty heavy duty to me. If you haven't seen SN live, they will really wow you. A funk, r&b, hip hop real deal mash up and that isn't even do them credit. Believe me, I pity any band following Shinobi on stage!
Well that do Ms. Editor?
