...blocks long formed to see the band. After the Austin show, Columbia Records picked up The Go! Team, and “Thunder, Lighting, Strike!” was released across the US last month.

Wearing a black mini-skirt, tight crop-topped yellow T, and pink headband, Ninja got the audience chanting along to her silly lyrics, “Do, do it, alright,” and her cheerleaders’ call, “Two, four, six, eight...
