Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Roland was a part of the following bands:
A tragic Encounter
Cystema
Cheetosky
NicoBand
Roujasboule'
Roland started playing guitar at 15 turning to punk rock music such as Blink182 and the likes of it during that time. After a year of picking up the guitar and exploring the music scene as a musician he started being interested in bands like AC/DC, Megadeth, Black Sabbath, etc. and started doing cover songs from those bands. The band activity became static suddenly and there was no gig's going on so he turned to doing solo recordings as you are now listening to the end result of it.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I play live just about anywhere i can get a gig on. I really like the live moments because you get to interact with the crowd, get them fired up or get them to react with what you do on-stage. Special moments would be doing that one handed tapping and making the crowd explode on one of those bandfest i joined.
