Missy (singer for the garage band juggernaut Wembley) and Andrew (bassist
and arranger for the bicoastal mini-orchestra Ghorar Deem Express) were
sitting around their apartment in JP wondering what to do about their
roommate Stanislav's birthday. Then- an idea: create a show in which each
band performs a song from one album of Stan's choice. Stan agreed and then
had the audacity to select Seasons in the Abyss by Slayer.
Somewhat-random domestic groupings leading to unexpected, quixotic
performance can also explain the original spawning of the Ghorar Deem. In an
altogether different apartment, in Amsterdam, in 2002, Andrew and his
roommates Rachel and Nader, after posturing that Rach could play accordion
Nader could vocalize in his native tongues of Bengali and Italian, created
(after recruiting a half-dozen neighbors and cohorts) the Deem. Since then
Andrew and Rachel became a crack songwriting duo, the band migrated to
Boston, Nader had a string of manic relapses (he's currently
institutionalized in France and will hopefully return for the big tour in
August (for the moment hisItalian-Bengali spasms are spread across the
band)), and the second album was mostly recorded and slated for release in
late '06. This will be their fourth infestation of the Pad.

Wembley is a super fun band from Brockton, MA. Their music is loud and crazy
and full of energy. Wembley is made up of some very nice boys and a very
nice girl. They write fun songs and practice in a smelly garage. They have
been playing together in the garage since last fall. They play nice.
Everyone has a good time. You will love them!
Laura Imhoff is a local singer/songwriter with a voice that some say sounds
like Joss Stone, Norah Jones, with a flare of Stevie Wonder. She grew up on
a small farm in Massachusetts and now lives in the city of Boston. Music is
a large part of her life. She uses music as an outlet; this is quite
recognizable in her lyrics. They are full of emotion and feeling and are
influenced by the people and what is going on in her own life. And more
importantly, she loves nothing more then to share that love with the people
that surround her. (We'll see how she does extracting love from Slayer.)
