about
There are at least five bands named The Ninjas: 1) The most prominent is the Australian "garage rock" outfit (Not pictured). Formed in 2011 the band consists of singer Josh Stewart, guitarist Patrich Ferris, bassist Donald Mackay, and drummer Mark Cosgrove. The band's catalogue of releases is fairly sparse though their most well known songs are singles: "Kill 'em All" and "Yeah Yeah". 2) The Ninjas were an Ann Arbor ska band who formed in August of 2002 and released their first album, Skaflakes, in 2003. Throughout the life of the band members included: Miller Tinkerhess on trumpet and vocals; Caleb Curtis on baritone and alto saxophones; Jake Scobey-Thal on tenor saxophone; Stephan Wunderlich on guitar and vocals; Nick Lundholm on guitar, bass and vocals; Derek Caldwell on trombone; Stuart Parnes on bass and Cade Sperlich on drums. Their style was a mix of ska, punk, and jazz (several of the members were in the Community High jazz band and went on to study jazz in college), and they were immediately popular around Ann Arbor because of their fun, laid-back energy and mildly absurd lyrics. They were responsible for the increased popularity of the Neutral Zone, a teen area where they often played shows, and also for the renewed popularity of ska in Ann Arbor. They released a second album, Platypus, in 2004 after performing with bands such as the Arrogant Sons of Bitches, Big D and the Kids Table, I Voted for Kodos, Streetlight Manifesto, and Mustard Plug, as well as winning
