honestly, i'd personally love to see My Squared Circle. i'd consider it a huge privilege to share the stage with them.
i'd also go to see Lunarin; i'm not sure how many people are into their music cause it reminds me of a mix of A Perfect Circle and Bjork and maybe some people aren't really into that sort of thing. but i like it a lot.

) I loved their acoustic set at the HeartRockSingapore gig.

would be cooler to have it in RJC.. their extremely extravagant campus. They're prolly rich enough to bribe the media authority to bring in the heavy metal bands.
Yea must get lunarin. Ronin behaved pretty well in the launch party despite the messed up club management.

I want to clear the air about Ronin and whatnot. My sources are- myself, a victorian who has been at all the events first hand, the teachers-in-charge involved and the band themselves, so I'd say I'm as accurate as you can get.
They first played at Victorian's Day (which was a weekend event at VS- it was not a school day, and it was not an official event. The school only had about maybe 500 people in school that day) as a favour to the OVA (Old Victorian's Association). They rented their own equipment from Mikeman's and the performance was very casual and slack. Levan did not refrain from using vulgarities or talking about squeezing tits, but the only destruction he did was kicking his own bottle of water around.
They were not banned from playing in VS for that. The response was great (for the 100 or so people sitting around the canteen), the Victorians were mature about it. They were given tokens of appreciation and when we were heading out to VJC afterwards the OVA guy tooted his horn to Levan and told him it was a good show.
Mr Maran was not present- he was off at some outdoor activity. Mr Maran and Levan have been close since the band's secondary school days, and actually wanted to catch them but wasn't available.
Mr Randall Seow (who rented the equipment and helped Mr Wong speak to the band) was not present. He had never watched Ronin play live or spoken to any of the band members other than Levan or Sean over the phone before the Teacher's Day gig.
Mr Wong Liang Seng (who organized the teacher's day gig) was not present on that day either.
So all in all, none of the teachers involved actually had seen or heard Ronin before the performance itself.

Regarding the Teacher's Day gig.
The band were not called down for any of the rehearsals- the entire event itself was planned barely a couple of weeks before the show. The organizer, Mr Wong, didn't know much about the equipment and how things should have been run, and approached Mr Seow for help.
Ronin on the other hand were incensed by the recent co-ed issues and banked their essential performance around that message. I think it's very important to know that these guys are outsiders and they did not know the inside information that us Victorians know- so naturally they were really upset and wanted to slam it as much as possible. Note that they did not plug their album or anything that day.
According to Levan, Mr Maran had actually enjoyed the performance and asked them about the launch party. However, of course, Mr Maran, as a teacher, cannot say that he enjoyed it! Hence his strong, positive speech (I loved it.)
Mr Lim (the VP) asked Mr Seow to go and shut off the PA system not because of the thrashing itself but because of the boys enjoying it. As teachers who consider themselves responsible for the development of the students, they have to of course put down the negative aspects of the band's performance (which was Levan thrashing the mike stand and the yelling of fricking teacher's day, dedicating Do What Thou Wilt to the rebels and what not).
I think it's important to understand that:
-Ronin are Victorians and they love VS. They played for free, and have been approaching the school to play whenver it was possible.
-They did not know our exact situation so they just did what they wanted to do. They were not told what sort of performance was expected out of them and whatnot. I blame this partly on Mr Wong and partly on the band themselves.
-Mr Seow, Levan and Sean had supper later on and all was cleared. Levan now thinks that Seow is a cool guy and Seow's chums with the band. Levan admitted that what they did was over-the-top, and Seow admitted that they played good music.
-I don't see anything wrong with Ronin playing in schools. They played a great gig at Republic Poly, and the first gig at VS was great as well. This one was only affected because there was not much communication between the band and the organizers- a recipe for disaster IMO.
Anyway Sabrina, if you're getting Levan and the boys to play at RGS, make sure you tell them to behave and I know they will =D. To some extent.
