Dude, that was an amazing show.
Imagine taking all the bad parts out of heavy metal: the flashy instruments, the obnoxious performers, the bad instrumentals, and all the words. Replace this with gratuitous wailing into the pickups. Also replace the bass guitar with a strange, skinny sort of fretless stand-up bass. That's Stinking Lizaveta. And you get to keep all the devil/hard rock hand signs.
I knew I was in love when the title of their first song was "Sketches of Cain." Like, ohmigod. And then, for the closer, the guitarist climbed on top of his amp for the whole song.
And the openers were really swell, too. They would've been good just by themselves, actually. "Hello, we're The Izzys and we're here from New York to play some rock and roll for you." So they play good old Southern-style guitar and rock out. "And now we're going to slow it down some to give you some to to reflect." And they rock out slower. And then they pick it up again.
Anyway, a great show.
