First of all, I gotta apologize for missing Ninjasonik’s record release party. I hear it was epic. I was on the way to the show but I had to stop off at Ryan Keely’s apartment first.  When I got there I realized I didn’t have my wallet so I was going to have to go all the way back to Brooklyn, get my wallet, and then go to the Ninjasonik show.  I would have been really late and really frazzled. So instead I just hung out with Ryan while she was packing for a feature dancing tour.  Plus she fed me, and while it’s not every day the Ninjas release a record, it’s not every day that a Penthouse Pet feeds you tortillas.  So sorry guys..

Anyway, I only got to see Ninjasonik play once at SXSW even though I saw them pretty much every day. I have to think I picked a pretty good show. After Hollywood Holt killed shit right before they went on Beauty Bar’s security was flipping out a little bit, and probably for good reason.  They whole NYC crew was in there and people were all over the stage. A video camera almost got smashed and I thought the stage might cave in. Antwan and Holt and Roofeo were crowd surfing and the whole thing was off the chain.  Last time I was at Beauty Bar Austin to see Ninjasonik they cut them off mid set, this time the Ninjas were in control and with the help of Johnny Nelson they took that place apart.  It’s just too bad Bill Murray wasn’t there to see it.
