Taming The Protagonist With RINRIN

Author: HEAVY Magazine May 3, 2023 Duration: 7:07
Interview by Kris Peters
Perth is a long way from the action when it comes to music, so you can be sure when you hear of an artist making waves from that side of the country that they have something special.
Which is precisely the case with alternative singer/songwriter RinRin who delivers a sound and music in the ilk of Paramore, BabyMetal and Avril Lavigne.
After being one of the standout performers at Brisbane's BigSound Festival in 2022, RinRin return to the East Coast of Australia in May for three shows with Inferiority Complex and Live Like Animals.
Dubbed the Protagonist Tour, the shows take in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane and to find out more about the growing star that is RinRin HEAVY caught up with the vocalist and namesake for the band.
"We've been having rehearsals every Sunday for six weeks now," she began. "We recently had band coaching as well and I'm excited to show everyone my new moves."
We ask RinRin to run us through a typical live show from the band.
"A lot of headbanging, that's for sure," she smiled. "A lot of fun, boppy songs with breakdowns and cool solos. A little bit of story time and lots of fun."
Listen to the full interview to find out more about RinRin and what to expect from the Protagonist Tour.
