One o f these new muses o f rawk happens to be a Portland girl. Singer Miaya Shambry boasts face-melt ing chops— and a mastery o f the Plant catalog sure to impress even the fiercest L Z fan. And bassist Angeline Saris, hailing from the San Francisco Bay area, has torn her way up and down fretboards o f jazz to speed metal, Cuban to hip-hop, flamenco to rockabilly and, yes, clas sic R & B and rock. (Naturally, she cites John Paul Jones as a main influence.)

The songs may remain the same, but the looks and sounds ramble on (c’mon, we had to)— and to an audi ence o f converts known for notching upwards o f 100 Zepparella shows to their names.
