Lizzy Borden (Born Greg Harges[1] on June 23, 1963 in Los Angeles, California) is the lead vocalist of the 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 and his LB bandmates, bassist Marten Andersson and drummer Joey Scott Harges. During the 90s Borden was also the lead singer of a punk band Diamond Dogs. Lizzy's stage name (and hence the name of his band) was inspired by the famed American axe murder Lizzie Borden.
