Bio
...... ...... Buy our MIDNIGHT CLARET cd on CD Baby.. here.. and our DOOR IN THE DRAGON'S THROAT cd from CD Baby ..here... .. 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... .. ..Watch Stone 588 on Youtube here..(video made by bassist Jon.) Stone 588 IS ON HIATUS BUT YOU CAN CHECK OUT TERRI'S TWO NEW PROJECTS HERE: ..Kardia Mortis.... ..Stychnine FX (With Eileen Bowe)..

As the band evolved they also explored a more ethereal sound a la Cocteau Twins as well as heavier rock oriented material.
