With their visa issues finally sorted out, Twelve Foot Ninja join the Periphery, Born of Osiris, Dead Letter Circus tour tonight in Los Angeles. On this, the day of the band’s first American show, we thought we’d ask vocalist Kin what his favorite live acts are. Click here to find out when the band will be in your town, and check out Kin’s picks below.

1. Steely Dan

I’ve seen them twice. They are the tightest, most seasoned band I have ever seen.

2. Meshuggah

I love every aspect of what Meshuggah do. They are a formidable live act.
