   Stone 588: General Info
Member Since1/5/2005
Band Websitehome.earthlink.net/~ipsofacto/s588.htm
Band MembersTerri Kennedy - vocals; Jon McFerson- bass; Dave Rhine - guitar; Stephen (Sandman) Sands- drums.
InfluencesDAVE RHINE (guitar) whose influences include Killing Joke, Black Sabbath and late Siouxsie guitarist John McGeogh, has performed in many punk and gothic bands over the years, including Guts on the Floor, Lycanthropy, The Beings, Star Ruby, Ether Eel, Dead End Kids and currently also plays with I Still Have Nightmares.
TERRI KENNEDY (vocals) draws her lyrical influences from Poe, Anais Nin, de Sade, women's studies, mythology, the supernatural, alternative spirituality. Her vocal experience began with choral and musical theatre, venturing into punk and new wave..influenced by Lene Lovich, Ultravox, The Birthday Party, Lydia Lunch, TSOL. Her work in more than 20 musical projects include punk, experimental, and folk bands, backing vocals on the 1995 Faith and the Muse U.S. tour, and recording projects with Hexedene, Schattenschlag, Lidless Eye Flicker, Wire Junky, Dichroic Mirror.
JON MCFERSON (bass) cites Xmal Deutschland, Slowdive, Curve, Lush, Jamiroquai, Kraftwerk, Gary Numan as influences. He also has played in the following bands: Guts on the Floor, Lycanthropy, Lone Raspberry, Kingston 10, Dead Xtras, The Loose , The Beings, The Arrogants, Changes Daily and currently also plays with I Still Have Nightmares.
STEPHEN (SANDMAN) SANDS (drums) is influenced by Rammstein, Type O Negative, Tool, Him, Beatles, The Damned, Sex Pistols, Marilyn Manson, Dream Theatre, Cocteau Twins, Early Bowie, R & B, 20's/30's, Swing, R&B, movie scores, Snot, Al Jarreau. He has played in metal, punk, goth, jazz, cover bands (currently "Rewind") and currently with The Lott. He had formal training from Guitar Academy of Anaheim and general music studies at Fullerton College. Stephen also does sound design & board op. at the Huntington Beach Playhouse.
Sounds LikeStone 588's early raw punk/ death-rock sound with tribal rhythms may remind some of Siouxsie and the Banshees, but Stone 588 members think the similarity stops at the guitar effects. Vocalist Terri recalls, "When we played live, we'd get two comments in this regard..if it was an acoustic show, we would garner "Cocteau Twins " comparisons, and with the full band we'd get remarks such as the one Dave Vanian shouted from the back as we were opening for him, "They're ripping off Siouxsie!" (For the record, Stone 588's guitarist, Dave yelled back, "You're ripping off Elvis!") Reviewers have made favorable comparisions of Terri's operatic soprano to Lisa Girard and Anneli Drecker, while fans of This Ascension, Mors Syphilitica, Mephisto Walz, Die Laughing, Inkubus Sukkubus, and other guitar-based gothic bands will surely appreciate Stone 588.

   About Stone 588




Formed in 1992 in Fullerton, California by guitarist Dave Rhine and vocalist Terri Kennedy (who co-owns goth shop Ipso Facto), Stone 588's brooding, intense, tribal sound has its roots in the early '80's post-punk era of Killing Joke and Siouxsie and the Banshees, traversing a dimly lit path of rhythmic darkness. The roster of members has included Eileen Bowe (Dichroic Mirror, Strychnine FX), Tony Sequido, Paul Rocha, Larry Salzman, Romeo Pastanas, Jose Sanchez., Adam Haynes, Phil Hanson, Mike Burton and others.
Comprised of ferocious rhythms and sinuous, liquid guitars awash with rippling, cavernous sounds emanating from beneath a murky depth, Stone 588's songs explore nocturnal emotions with vocals ranging from sensually captivating to fiercely chilling. Stone 588 draws their name from the legend of a Druid's Altar in County Cork, Southern Ireland. Under the stone circle, the cremated body of an infant, a human sacrifice, was found concealed in a large urn, whose burial dates back to c588 B.C.
Stone 588 has three cd self-releases "Door in the Dragon's Throat" (1995) and "Midnight Claret," (2000) plus three previous cassette-only releases (1993, 1995) now available as the "Eden's Eyes" cd (2007). They have also appeared on cable television, over 21 cd compilations worldwide on Cleopatra, Cargo, Palace of Worms, Projekt, Equinoxe and other labels, and in the independant vampire-themed film, "Circle of Five."
Stone 588 has performed live in support of Shadow Project, Rozz Williams, Human Drama, Eva O., The Last Dance, Astro Vamps, This Ascension, Babyland, Dave Vanian, and others. The band is currently preparing tracks for a new 2008 cd release and performing in the L.A. area. Look for further compilation tracks and dark emanations from Stone 588 soon. Check out the Jan 2007 interview with Stone 588 on the Livid Looking Glass podcast.
