I Just Read About That…

[DID NOT ATTEND: August 31, 2023] Dysrhythmia / Stinking Lizaveta / Countdown from Ten

For reasons I don’t entirely remember, I’ve added Stinking Lizaveta to the list of bands that I’d like to see.

I think what inspired me to check them out is that they are an instrumental band who play complex music.  Indeed, it appears that not a word would be sung this entire evening.

After reading about and then listening to all of these bands, I decided that I would go to this show after all.  So I grabbed a ticket.  And then it turned out that there were so many  things going o this weekend that spending Thursday night jamming to metal math rock just didn’t fit into the plans

Bummer.

I’d never heard of Dysrhythmia (a NYC-based progressive instrumental trio formed in 1998).  But I love their name and that they do instrumental prog metal.  They would definitly have been a band that I loved in college.

I don’t know Countdown from Ten We followed the trail of breadcrumbs and this is where it led us; the southern city limits of Philadelphia. We play eerie, high-energy music with uncommon rhythms and an abundance of grooves. CDFT is Ariel Golden (bass) Dan Getty (drums) and Cameron Davidson (guitar.)

Named for a doomed Dostoyevsky character and referred to as “the Stinkies” by friends and fans, Stinking Lizaveta’s trademark sound features strains of jazz, classical, punk, and even a hint of Greek music as well.
