Eastern Shadows is a film and music transmedia project, founded in 2009 by N Ronin in LA. Now based out of Mod-o-phonic in Hollywood, CA, N.Ronin also tours a live band under the same name.
History
Formation
Initially formed to create the soundtrack for the film series of the same name,[1] Eastern Shadows developed into a full-fledged band late in 2009. It could be argued that the initial incarnation of the band appeared on stage at the final Rockit Hong Kong Music Festival, where the band was billed as Spencer Douglass. However it was not until the band moved to the US that they really became serious and started working with the leading lights of the music scene. Their first EP was recorded by Steve Albini, and several of the resulting tracks are available on Soundcloud. A short tour of Asia followed in 2010.
The current studio line-up is N.Ronin vox/guitar, Solomon Walker on bass and Mike Fasano on drums. They are currently working with Joe McGrath on their first full-length release at McGrath's studio Mod-o-phonic in Hollywood.
