Ronin (8)

Ronin was Bruno Dorella’s project back when he was drummer for [a1245352]. Slow, moving songs, soundtracks for imaginary films. In the summer of 1998, in Pesaro, Dorella found the striking inspiration he was looking for: a festival that Wolfango were supposed to play in was cancelled due to bad weather. The only band that was able to play was an acoustic, Slovenian band which drew the audience’s attention all the time they played. The Ronin project had to get going and musicians needed to be found. The hunt was extensive; for a punk like Bruno, finding accordion, saxophone and violin players was not exactly easy, but he eventually met the right people and the first mini-cd was released, Ronin EP on Bar la Muerte in 2002. Since then, they released 6 albums, some sountracks for movies, and played a wide amount of shows all over Europe, changing different line ups. The band’s actual lineup features Bruno Dorella (guitar), Nicola Manzan (guitar, violin), Roberto Villa (bass) and Alessandro Vagnoni (drums).
