REEN DOG WORLD TOUR 2004 WOWS CROWDS IN SINGAPORE!

Singapore. She is known as a world-class act, with her own unique brand of rock 'n roll. The eagerly anticipated Reen Dog World Tour 2004 kicked off yesterday in Singapore.

Fans lined up for hours at Singapore Changi Airport just to catch a glimpse of the reclusive rocker as she slipped into the hub of Asia. Rumours abounded on local radio that she had been spotted travelling on Singapore's Public Transport System, unaccompanied by her usual entourage of security staff.

"I was just taking the bus home from working the night shift, and I saw her just sitting there, looking out the window at the world passing by. I couldn't believe my eyes," said one commuter.

At a later in-store appearance, Reen Dog browsed for souvenirs and mingled with speechless fans before heading back to her hotel room to prepare for last night's show.

Singapore stadium was packed well before the show start time of 7:30pm. The crowd roared for over two minutes as the lights went down and Reen Dog's band took to the stage. Opening with a long drum solo, Kirk Bretner showed the crowd why he had been hired, after the shock firing of former drummer, Brett Kirkner earlier this year.

Bass guitarist, Funk Jones, took to the stage followed closely by lead guitarist, Jack "Lix" Tyler with a driving solo, combining their effortless skill.

The loudest cheers were reserved for Reen Dog herself, who took to the stage in ripped jeans and a black and silver leather jacket (trademarked by her film clip for her world wide smash, "Blaze of Unforgiven"). Taking the crowd on a 2-hour rollercoaster ride through the hits and showcasing songs from her forthcoming album, A Dog For All Seasons , the crowd could do naught but rock it and cry out for more.

"If this show is anything to go by, Reen is one of today's premier rock acts, bound to rock the world even more so in future. Look out England! Look out Canada! The Reen Dog invasion is imminent!" exclaimed Singapore's excitable celebrity rock guru, Sammi K. Singh.

Fans in Vancouver eagerly anticipate Reen Dog's first appearance in that city later this month. "I already bought the world tour t-shirt on the internet, so I could be ready for her arrival. She is my hero. I feel like I know her so well," said one excited fan. "I was into her music before she became a famous superstar. I have all her albums including a rare Cobden-only release of her early cover of 'We gotta get out of this place' on cassingle."

Reen plays several shows in London in the coming days.
