levan posted my video and photos on the ronin blog. cool i'm feeling like a mini-celeb lol. levan thinks the vid is damn cool :) not bad for this amateur videoman. and i got a mention as a "friend who's supported them from the start". ha. i didn't know i'm such a hardcore supporter.

i first got to know of them at the later part of 2004. my brother had their song Crazy Son. i took a listen and thought it was a great song, and i had no idea it was a local band till he told me. a few days later there was a feature in the old Life! This Weekend on the rising band scene in Sg. ronin was featured and the article said the band met when they were in VICTORIA SCHOOL. that made me even more interested. so i checked out their 5-song EP at gramophone, and bought a paper version of it from Tower cos it was cheaper compared to the jewel case vers :) (levan tells me this unmastered vers is super rare now, only 20 copies were sold of 50 printed, perhaps it'll fetch a couple of hundred in the future haha). and my first ronin gig was at Youth Park and they blew me away. my conversion was complete. they gave their EP out for free too and i got em to autograph it. and from there i was addicted to ronin's brand of hard rock n roll.

and there was the super ulu gig at marina south, where junhong and i were the only 5 people that formed the crowd hahaha. that's where we got to know the band.
