Stinking Lizaveta are headed to Europe for the summer. Sometime in the late 90's a friend asked me if I had heard of Stinking Lizaveta. His description of them was striking and exciting. He said it felt like jazz but was bizarre, heavy and dirty. It immediately peaked my interest but would not land on my stereo until about a year later.
Here we are nearly 30 years later and the band sounds as fresh and original as that first experience provided. I can only imagine the longevity of the band would amplify the live performance. Lookout Europe! They are once again walking in your dark spaces.
Note: Whoever is on flyer art duty is on fire!
"Philadelphia's cult doom-jazz rockers Stinking Lizaveta return this Summer to Europe for a festival-hopping tour, beginning Saturday June 20th in Italy, including rocking through Croatia for the mighty Bearstone Festival, and completing the circuit July 10th with Germany's iconic Stoned From The Underground festival."
On what is is Stinking Lizaveta's third summer in a row over in Europe booked without an agent, the tour will see Stinking Liz share stages with the likes of Elder, Naxatras, Altın Gün, Mars Red Sky, and more.
