Juneau Empire, AK
They call themselves "mountain music for a pleasant revolution," but it was actually a college friendship and a fortuitous pairing of ingenuity and marketing that helped bicycle revolutionaries and northern California three-piece Kipchoge and the Ginger Ninjas begin their strange, but earnest, musical odyssey.
The group, self-described as "mind shaking love groove folkfunk," plays the Alaskan Bar from 9 p.m. to closing on Thursday through Saturday, July 22-24.
This is the second-to-last stop of a month-long tour that's taken the band through Kenai, Homer, Anchorage, Girdwood, Kodiak, Talkeetna, Fairbanks and Healy. As they've done since forming in Nevada City, Calif., two years ago, the Ginger Ninjas attempt to combine music with their interests in bicycle advocacy, sustainable transportation and clean, active living.
