<p><span style="font-size: medium;">I wanted to let everyone know that Mike K will be out for a few weeks. For those of you who did not know, Mike slipped on SuperBowl Sunday (missed the game) and managed to mess himself up pretty well. Mike broke a rib and had surgery on Tuesday to put some screws into his hip as well as a metal plate. He got out of the Hospital on Friday and started physical therapy today.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Obviously with this type of injury, Mike will most likely be spending a lot of time in bed and not on the computer. We wish you a speedy recovery Mike!!</span></p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Dazed</span></p>

<p>Gary Carciello - song idea and all guitars.</p><p>Farrell Jackson - lyric idea, melody, and all vocals.</p><p>Rob Grant - bass guitar.</p><p>DrC - all keyboards, drum programming, and mixing/production/mastering.</p><p>About the song Rayon Vert: All bands (even internet ones) need to write a song named after them, lol. So just as the classic greats like Black Sabbath, Bad Company, Iron Maiden, and Bad Religion have done, Rayon Vert has followed their trend with the creation of Rayon Vert....the song. We've tried to put some extra power into this production which you'll hear in Gary's lightening quick, yet tasteful, guitar work, DrC's equally tasty and speed of light keys work, Rob's impressive and thunderous bass. I've also tried to put a little extra desire and feel into my vocals. We think we hit the mark but you, the listener, will have to be the judge of that.</p><p>Enjoy!</p><p>Farrell Jackson for Rayon Vert</p>

<p>Hi first off i want to thank everyone that has commented on our songs, it means shitloads to us that you people took the time to voice your oppinion.</p><p>Finnish people have a nasty habit of being lazy when it comes to voting and reviewing so a big thanks to all of you, and to Dace the song "pahuuden panoraama" is short and we are aware of that it was one of our earlier songs and it felt good at the time it was made 
</p><p> </p><p>Secondly Trakooma has an opportunity to be a part of the big boys and play in Nummirock heavy metal festival in finnland this summer but we need help from voters and so if you got spare time and a facebook accoun go to the link below to cast your vote, the texts are in finnish but its really simpple all you do is click on the link then click the ammount of golden stars you want the band to have "5 offcourse ^^ " then the site will ask you to put in your facebook details, once that is done your vote has been cast and you made our life soo much happier :D</p><p> </p><p>http://demoseta.nummirock.fi/wp/?p=3773</p>
