Sun-60
HIDDEN ERROR: Usage of "Also Known As" is not recognized
Sun-60 (later Sun 60 without the hyphen) were a Los Angeles Alternative rock band from 1987-1996.
The band was notable for the vocals of Joan Jones, the guitar riffs of David Russo, clever song-writing, and an eclectic combination of styles, including folk, alt rock, pop, and blues.
Despite a cult following, considerable commercial potential, and moderate success both as a touring live act and on record, the band never quite caught on, and split in 1996.
History
Sun-60 began as an acoustic folk duo, composed of Joan Jones and David Russo playing under the name Far Cry. Gradually their sound became harder-edged, and they added various musicians to form a rock rhythm section.
They were signed by Epic Records in 1990 and released the eponymous Sun-60 in 1992. Sun-60 is a glossily-produced, high-energy folk/pop/rock album showcasing Jones' voice and hook-laden songwriting.
Only (1993) is primarily blues-based hard rock, although folk and pop influences are still audible. The album features guest performances from several notable musicians such as Dave Navarro.
Shapeshifter (band)

History and Biography

As a result, they decided to bring these influences together to create live drum & bass. After playing locally, they released an early EP entitled D.N.A.
In 2001, Shapeshifter released their debut LP entitled Realtime. The album included a collaboration with vocalist Ladi6 on the track "Move With Me" as well as Kaps (Fabel) and Tiki (Salmonella Dub) on production.

Getting rid of the edit page
In an announcement on its front page on 1 February 2010, former editor-in-chief Aditya Sinha announced that DNA would drop its "edit page," the section containing editorials, analysis and opinion.DNA's decision was considered bold and attracted much criticism in the field. DNA subsequently began providing, where appropriate, expert opinion and comments in different pages of the newspaper.

Reception
