Stinking Lizaveta is a power trio from Philadelphia that plays heavy instrumental rock. Members: Yanni Papadopoulos, Alexi Papadopoulos, Cheshire Agusta. MusicMight categorizes them as "doom jazz". 2017 saw them release the album "Journey to the Underworld" on Translation Loss Recordings.

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

The band's first two albums were on Compulsiv, their third came out on Joe Lally's now-defunct Tolotta Records label; later releases have been on At a Loss Recordings in the US and Monotreme Record in UK and Europe. Their 2012 release, "7th. Direction", was via German label Exile On Mainstream. Extensive touring has included supporting Clutch on a 2005 US tour, and in the UK in 2006 they toured with Clutch and Corrosion of Conformity.

The band gets its name from a character in the 1880 Russian novel The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky.

"Bringing together elements of funk, metal, punk, jazz and blues with the same kind of cavalier oddball brilliance as Frank Zappa, Stinking Liz are a really unique band whose music possesses a truly bombastic groove and a freewheeling spirit of improvisation and fun." - The Sleeping Shaman
