Stinking Lizaveta is a power trio from Philadelphia. MusicMight categorizes them as "doom jazz".[1]

History

[edit]

Their 1996 debut album Hopelessness and Shame was recorded by Steve Albini. Albini was so impressed by them that he brought them to the All Tomorrow's Parties festival he co-curated in 2004.[2]

The band's first two albums were on Compulsiv, and their third came out on Joe Lally's now-defunct Tolotta Records label;[3] later releases have been on At a Loss Recordings in the US and Monotreme Record in UK and Europe. Their most recent release, 2012's 7th. Direction, was released via German label Exile On Mainstream.[4]

Extensive touring included supporting Clutch on a 2005 US tour. They toured in the UK with Clutch and Corrosion of Conformity in 2006.[5]

The band got its name from a character in the 1880 Russian novel The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky.[6]
