John Shiruba's 5x5R and Karen Stackpole

John Shiurba's 5x5/R: The rock incarnation of 5x5 includes Shiurba & Boisen on twin lead guitars with Graham Connah on keys and the kick ass rhythm section of Morgan Guberman & Gino Robair. These guys take rock where it shouldn't have to go.

Karen Stackpole: performs and records with metals/gongs duo Euphonics, Dean Santomieri, Ron Thompson, Myles Boisen, Moe! Staiano, and John Schott's Ensemble Diglossia as well as collaborating on various other projects. Gongs and resonance are the calling. Small distinct sounds (a la insect music) and use of silence and space rank high also.

Cost: $7
