Clandestine Studios We caught 3 Foot Ninja playing at The Ketton Ox in Yarm on 1st May. At first glance we were sceptical as the average age of the band looked to be about 15 years. However once they started to play we were suprised in the best possible way. This young band put everything they had into their performance and produced a very entertaining, polished set. A mixture of original songs and covers went over well with the crowd at The Ketton Ox and the sound that came from these boys took me back to the punk sounds of 1978 - a mixture of The Clash, The Buzzcocks with a hint of The Undertones and Psychedelic Furs. In the long term the future for these three guys looks incredibly bright as they continue to record and perform their startlingly well written original tracks. (Full review and pics here) Huddersfield Daily Examiner - Tom Bailey reviews the Subways gig at the Cockpit, Leeds, April 2008 First up, support act 3 Foot Ninja do a decent job of warming the crowd up, with the trio barely surfacing for air between blasts of their high-energy rock. Review of Brian Clough Memorial Fund Benefit with British Sea Power, Empire, Middlesbrough in 'Fly Me to the Moon' (Boro fanzine) 3 Foot Ninja kicked off the proceedings with a rousingly compelling set. A blend of their own songs punctuated by a few skilfully executed covers. The band really proved that their talents are beyond their years. One girl near me, comparing them to the Pixies, refused to believe they were still at school, despite the visual evidence in front of her. Review of Blakey Festival - Alan Jeff, Matmata Media Sitting in the beer garden, the first of the live music on offer came in the form of three young gunslingers called 3 Foot Ninja. They turned in an amazing performance - a 45 minute set of original material with a few contemporary covers. They played with a maturity and skill that defied their years. No doubt they'll get their chance on the main stage before too long… "Pointless Review" single review - the Link magazine An excellent CD single from young band 3 Foot Ninja.Two original songs from their forthcoming full album - the trio recently blew the crowds away at both the Blakey festival and Whitby regatta (where the CD was launched - its first run immediately sold out). With the energy that comes from a live recording "Pointless Review" is a laid back yet driving rock tune with a sophisticated 6/8 swing feel, the bonus track "Make Yourself Heard" is straight ahead rock. The Ninjas write and arrange all their own material and organise their own artwork and design. "Pre-Release" EP Review - Fran Hingston, from yoursooldstreet.co.uk What was a joy to see was their maturity and determination, as well as the way they mingled effortlessly amongst the big name veteran performers at this year's Whitby World Music Festival, such as Chumbawamba, RnB/Blues Legend Geno Washington and Altan. And they all sleep, breathe, and live music. This is not a novelty band - nor is this review here for novelty value. In years to come these three are definitely going to go on to big things. Look out for them - you read it here first. Review of Monsters of Swill Fest - Harriet Page, York Evening Press and Malton Gazette & Herald A favourite band of mine had to be 3 Foot Ninja - the youngest band of the weekend. They didn't let age stand in their way, performing their own material with total professionalism.	single "Bloke I don't know" Release date: 3rd August 2007
