UTG TV: Twelve Foot Ninja Celebrate Their Revolver Golden Gods Award

“Flamingos can only eat with their heads upside down,” reads a Snapple cap I’ve just exchanged with Stevic, lead guitarist of Twelve Foot Ninja. He’s mildly interested and certainly exhausted. In our brief walk together it became clear how intellectual and curious his mind really was. By this point, he was mainly concentrated on the speculative conversation that we’d been having over dinner with the band members and Zach from Metal Insider.

Over pizza we discussed everything from the missing Malaysian Airlines flight to Marilyn Manson and Alice Cooper; but that was the least exciting part of our night.

Twelve Foot Ninja were fresh off the airplane from California where they’d just received the Revolver Golden Gods Award for “Best New Talent.” The guys beat out Deafheaven, Heaven’s Basement, Issues, Scar the Martyr and ††† (Crosses) for the title.

Their hectic schedule didn’t stop the guys from meeting up with UTG TV to have an exclusive interview to talk about their overwhelming level of appreciation and excitement. We sat down in Madison Square Park within perfect view of the Empire State Building, giving the Australian natives a warm (actually rather frigid) welcome back to New York.

Check out below to see the Under The Gun exclusive and Twelve Foot Ninja’s upcoming tour dates.

When the interview was over, the guys realized immediately that they’d forgotten to mention one of their favorite parts of the Golden Gods Awards, meeting up with Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater. He is now in an awesome band called The Winery Dogs. Rather than awkwardly editing a video of them standing into a video of them sitting, check out this thirty-second shout out!
