Lizzy Borden (singer)

Lizzy Borden (Born Gregory Harges) is the lead vocalist of the heavy/glam metal band Lizzy Borden. He has fronted the band since its formation in 1983, and is one of only two of the band's original members (the other being Lizzy's brother and drummer Joey Scott Harges). Borden is also the lead vocalist of Starwood, a side project of his featuring Lizzy Borden bandmates, bassist Marten Andersson and drummer Joey Scott Harges. Borden was also the lead singer of the rock band Diamond Dogs prior to forming Lizzy Borden. Lizzy's stage name (and hence the name of his band) was inspired by the famed American axe murder Lizzie Borden.
