   About Mike Rolland
Ive been in various bands over the years- all good in their own way. Now I've gone solo and I'm loving it! There are a couple of live and very rough demos here. I also play guitar for The Neon Trees which is grand. I get asked about my guitars quite a bit. Acoustic wise I use a Gibson J45 exclusively- its a wonderful guitar- bought it new last year- no problems yet! I also use a 1988 USA Strat with lace pickups on it- Shes a bit battered now but still plays like a star. And I plug this straight into a 40w Fender valver which is a great sounding amp but if you are thinking of getting one I'd consider an extension cab as well. Ive recently bought another guitar off a luthier called Stephen Hart who is based in Oldham, lancs. Its a weird looking thing, like a les paul thats been put through a mangle. It plays like a dream though! MySpace Layouts

£leTriKa sounds completely different from any Metal band you have ever heard. The Brazilian rhythms and the Portuguese language added to the songs makes its style unique, giving birth to a new kind of Metal. If you are really looking for something new about Metal, you should check £leTriKa out!

Hugs from Brazil,

Valeu demais a força! Quando rolaumtempinho, me fala o que achou da £leTriKa. Agente junta Metal com umasparada Brasileira. Tamutendumbom feed nas rádios gringas nos quatrocontos. Mantenha contato, blz?

Grande abraço,

Hey there,
Here's one from left field...
Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while back I came across some very disturbing information, which inspired me to make this video:
Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaIim3Rj7L4
Both artistic (ensure you've good enough sound to enjoy the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.
Though the source materials are somewhat aged, the fundamentals remain relevant today.
I encourage all to visit the YouTube web page above to learn more (Show your support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly re-post and circulate as widely as possible.
Help to raise awareness.
Say have you checked out my web site (http://www.faberoptime.com) recently?
Take care and keep in touch.
Best,
Faber.
