GB is Glenn Bennie, a driving force behind the Underground Lovers, one of Australia's most innovative bands of the '90s.

A Ninja knows victory or death – there is no compromise. So one must ask, what cataclysm has befallen this one? INJURED NINJA is an epic sonic force that confronts its audience with experimental Noise Rock and sythethsized electronic wizardry creating a new aural atmosphere.
