whiteymuseum Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 TUESDAY MAY 31 "Instrumental Psychedelic Doom-Rock" STINKING LIZAVETA @ The Underground, 8PM Hamilton, ON http://www.undergroundrocks.ca For fans of ALLMAN BROTHERS, EARTH, SLEEP, KYUSS, SONS OF OTIS, ASH RA TEMPEL Stinking Lizaveta Caught Between Worlds (At a Loss) by Brian Varney Stinking Lizaveta is my kind of jam band. In possession of a nimble, subliminal band groove, the type made possible only by playing together for large spaces of time (I'm guessing these three could play for a few hours without a single glance at one another), and also a wealthy succession of chunktastic guitar riffs. SL is composed of lifers, folks who've been doing this for little acclaim and less money for many years, will continue to do so for many more years, and have no problem with it. Cheesy and clichéd though it may seem in an Almost Famous kinda way, the members of SL are in love with music and none of the superficial trappings that sometimes accompany membership in a band. Stinking Lizaveta is primarily a live band. Like similar previous luminaries such as The Allman Brothers Band and 15.60.75, the recording studio is a hindrance to this band, leashing and muzzling the untamed animal that prowls freely in the live environment. Caught Between Worlds is a much better representation of the SL experience than previous studio recordings, but it acts more as code for the live experience. So although live is the way to see Stinking Lizaveta, if you want to pick up an album, this is the place to start.

Guest Low Roller Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Sounds like it could be TOOL without the vocals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteymuseum Posted May 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Sounds like it could be TOOL without the vocalsI don't really hear that in the music myself...although I didn't list any mp3 links or anything. It's more stoner-rock than nu-metal/proggie like Tool.I think the Allman Bros meets Kyuss descripter, although generalizing gives a good idea of the music.

Jaimoe Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 This band's description reminds me of the great Canadian band The Illuminati. These guys are the real deal - part Sabbath, Dead, southern and 70's rock and bluegrass ( if you can believe it! ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteymuseum Posted May 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 THE ILLUMINATI are solid. AND Stinking Lizaveta are similiar instrumentally (especially since it's an instrumental band), but a little more slow and sludgy. Find some of the slower stuff the Illuminati play, instead of the dance-able boogie tunes and now we are talking.PS: The show is this Tuesday May 31.
