STONE 588

Stone 588 is a post-punk goth-rock foursome formed in 1992 in Fullerton, California, and centred around singer-songwriter Terri Kennedy and guitarist Dave Rhine.

They appear on many compilations but their most important recording to date is the excellent Door in the Dragon's Throat (1995), a 21-song album which comprised remixes and re-releases of earlier material as well as six new tracks.

Terri's distinctive voice is sonorous and powerful and has more than a hint of Siouxsie-Sioux. The music, which is influenced by Catholic choral music, is also suggestive of Dead Can Dance.

Terri has no particular axe to grind, but is a Europhile and draws inspiration from classical literature and personal experience, with the usual goth leitmotifs. Besides the group, Terri also runs a gothic fashion/retail record store and has a site on the Web.
