About Me

Ninio formed about 5 years ago and started out doin stripped back funk grooves remenisant of meters and early funkadelic, they wrote there own songs and as time went on the started to find a sound that was there own. 1 year ago they asigned a new drummer dave anstie, whos energy and enthusiasm for drumming really set ninio on the path that they had been looking for. with higher energy than ever they wrote a whole new set in 6 months and where back on the local scene. never a band to follow the scene ninio is made up of 4 players that just love playing and love playing loud, they seem to have got a reputation of being a funk band, but maybe wrongly so, as they bring many differant things to the table. you can tell by the eclectic crowds that there is maybe something for everyone. 2006 will see ninio again with freshly written songs and a new 3 track cd (recorded at 2fly) play the local scene and with interest from all over they will be creeping into columns and the airwaves in the uk.If you want to contact ninio, email at this address.

Sounds Like: OUR OWN DIRTY FUNK THAT AINT SHY TO EXPERIMENT ; ) ..Thankyou very much :)SANDMAN REVIEW------------------------------------------------------ ------------Ninio know their style and stick to it, they proved charismatic, energetic and consistently talented. Delivering a tightly honed set of funk fusion and high octane Jamiroquai- style vocals, Ninio are precise and highly danceable, with solos and guitar work reminiscent of Santanas inventiveness, even drawing on the same mystical/magic imagery for lyrics like shamanic soul. On a superficial level, Ninios musical range may seem narrow as each song seems to melt into the next without a great variation in style, however their love of performance and their technical ability carries them through triumphant...
