Philadelphia, United States
After six albums released and more than 10 years of touring around the country blitzing audiences with their famously dynamic live shows, instrumental power trio Stinking Lizaveta (named for a Dostoevsky character in “The Brothers Karamazov”) from Philadelphia, USA has become an institution of sorts in the US underground music scene. Their eclectic style of music incorporates post-rock, metal, sludge, prog, stoner and doom with jazz stylings and eastern influences. RockDetector’s book, ‘History of Stoner, Goth, and Doom’, categorizes their music as ‘doom-jazz’, a label that the band have taken to citing when asked to describe their music.
Stinking Lizaveta’s numerous fans include Steve Albini, who recorded and mixed their debut album, “…Hopelessness And Shame”, in his basement back in 1996. Together with “Slaughterhouse” in 1997 and “III” 4 years later, it has been released on the now-defunct Tolotta label (Spirit Caravan, The Obsessed, Dead Meadow, Othrelm) run by Fugazi bass player Joe Lally. An invitation from Steve Albini brought the band their European debut performance at the UK All Tomorrow’s Parties festival in March 2004, where they played a storming set that created a sizeable stampede to their merch table.
The trio comprises brothers Yanni and Alexi Papadopoulos on guitar and electric upright bass and Cheshire Agusta on drums. Yanni Papadopoulos elicits an impressive range of sounds from his electric guitar, from heavy Sabbath-y riffs to graceful winding melodies, with periodic departures into stoner groove territory.
