Victor Menace!!!

The original sound of Ninja Folk! A fusion of fast paced all-original gypsy and classical melodies, laced with punk-rock moments, swing and reggae grooves, and a sprinkling of tourette's induced expletives. Sporting an undeniable all-star cast, led by Fiddle and Soprano Sax, and backed by Guitars, Bass, and Drums - it's chair smashing, pint glass throwing, tipsy gyspy mayhem of the highest order!
