ButterKnifeNinja is a project that RupertG (of Rupert Goes Shopping) and I started in late 2007 (yes, quite some time ago).

From memory, it started out with RupertG showing me a possible RGS track, asking me what I thought, as he felt it wasn’t quite RGS material. I remember I really liked it and started to experiment with the track, mainly adding this horrible noise guitar. The noise guitar was totally improvised and was added as I was working on some of my own punk-noise material at the time.

When I showed RupertG the rough idea he liked it & said “I think we have something here…” and ButterKnifeNinja was born.
The idea was to mix dub-flavoured electronica with noisy punk-rock styled guitars and of course, the banjo!

Since 2007 we’ve made about 22 demo ideas, and a few finished tracks. Both of us got caught up in our other (multiple) projects as well as our private lives. We hope to get this up and running again now that the site is live.

Stay tuned for more! Also join the fan page on Facebook

With this remix, I had an Amon Tobin style in mind. I sampled quite a few parts of sounds from vinyl records, and used those notes to re-create the original riffs etc.

Rupert Goes Shopping is based in Sydney, Australia and is the largely one man band of RupertG. RupertG has been writing and producing music for 15 years. He switched to electronic music after a run in with a car whilst crossing the road removed some of his fine motor skills in his hands and limited his guitar playing. Rupert Goes Shopping is heavily influenced by bands such as Dimmu Borgir, Opeth and many other Scandinavian Death Metal acts, but is not of the metal genre. They have been labelled ‘Gothic Lullabies’ by some and ‘Sunday Afternoons at the Pub music’ by others. They are not sure what genre they fit into, and are hoping they work it out one day…

RupertG uses Propellerhead Software’s Reason for all his compositions.
