Stinking Lizaveta Announce Tour Around Mutants of the Monster Fest
Behold, another excuse for me to tell you how incredible Stinking Lizaveta were at Desertfest New York (review here) and how very much you should be looking forward to their follow-up to 2017’s Journey to the Underworld (review here). The venerable Philadelphia trio or four-piece will tour around their appearance early in June at Little Rock, Arkansas’ Mutants of the Monster festival, put together with obvious love and care by Christopher “CT” Terry, also of Rwake, and while I wait to find out which record label will step up and have the temerity to put out their upcoming full-length — Translation Loss did Journey and in the past they’ve worked with respected purveyors like Exile on Mainstream, At a Loss and the oh-so-selective Tolotta Records — I can only advise you sincerely to show up to one of these gigs should they happen to be near you or within your capacity for travel.
The core three-piece of the band, guitarist Yanni Papadopoulos (also these days of Wail), bassist Alexi Papadopoulos and drummer Cheshire Agusta have been ripping various genres from heavy rock to punk to jazz to math to instrumentalist shreds for the better part of 30 years, so they need a push from me like they need vocals, but for the week-plus’ worth of shows listed below, I’m glad to put up the Bandcamp stream of Journey to the Underworld, hoist a make-believe beverage in their honor and wish them safe travels. May every audience be so lucky as to take in a fraction of the glee-born-and-glee-inducing wrecking ball of awesome that I witnessed just over a week ago.
