Stinking Lizaveta @ Knitting Factory, 3/21

Nine things to know about Stinking Lizaveta:
1) They play heroic heavy metal jams with actual melodies and grooves.
2) Nobody in the band sings. You might call it "instru-metal."
3)They feature two brothers named Alexi and Yanni Papadopolous and a sista named Cheshire Agusta. Who has the awesomest name? I go gaga deciding.
4) Alexi Papadopolous plays electric upright bass. In a metal band.
5) His brother Yanni - no, not that Yanni - plays guitar.
6) Yanni actually doesn't really play guitar so much as molest it, coax weird sounds from it, whisper dirty things into the pickup to see how it reacts. Imagine a movable, guitar-shaped strippers' pole, and the guy in the picture above as the stripper. He accepts dollars.
7) Drummer Cheshire Agusta is all power and pocket. She don't need no double-kick drum and fifty-tom set.
8 ) Steve Albini produced Stinking Lizaveta's new album Scream of the Iron Iconoclast and it'''s their best record in ten years.
9) They are only the baddest-ass band on a bill full of badass bands, most notably Qui, a bassless L.A. power duo recently expanded to a trio with the addition of fucking DAVID YOW, who is still as seedy and disgusting a vocalist as he was with The Jesus Lizard.
