Lizzy Borden rocks the Kobetasonik Festival in Spain with last minute performance!
Lizzy Borden received a call last week to see if they would be able to play a festival in Spain with Motley Crue, Anthrax, Buckcherry and more! The band somehow made it happen! Read Lizzy Borden’s post festival report below.
Lizzy Borden’s post festival report:
“Wednesday morning I got a call asking if we wanted to play the Kobetasonik festival in Bilbao Spain On Saturday. I wasn’t sure that we could do the show because my passport just expired the day before. I spent the whole day at the federal building on Thursday not knowing if they would renew my passport or not, they just kept saying we will do our best. I finally got it in my hands at 5:00 that night; we flew out for Spain the next morning. We arrived at the festival at around 4:00 in the afternoon on Saturday scheduled to play at 8:15 that night, only one problem, the airline lost all of our luggage. We finally tracked it down and they said they were flying it in and it would all be there in time for the show. While we franticly waited for our luggage we watched Buckcherry, Papa Roach, and Anthrax - all really great shows!
With only minutes to spare our gear finally arrived. A quick line check, smear on some stage make-up and without any rehearsal at all hit the stage and belted out 65 minutes of American metal the Lizzy Borden way. We all had a great time on stage, the audience in Bilbao Spain was screaming loud all the way through and in the end turned out to be a great surprise show for us and them. We met a lot of new friends backstage and with all of the bands being in the same building it turned out to be a really cool party. And at some point I think we dove into the Jagermeister (maybe a little too much) and wandered out in the audience to watch Motley cure. After a few minutes we got recognized and had a BIG party in the crowd with a lot of our new friends from Bilbao.
I want to thank everyone at the festival for treating us so well…we can’t wait to come back, hopefully next time more than 2 days notice. Live forever, Lizzy Borden”

LIZZY BORDEN has announced the addition of guitarist Dario Lorina to the group's ranks.
Lorina is a 19-year-old guitarist who has been making waves in the music industry. At age 16, he was recognized for his passion and what some may call exceptional talent, and began touring with multi-platinum songwriter and WARRANT frontman Jani Lane. During that time Dario strongly created a reputation and name for himself as a player and gained the respect of many, thus giving him the opportunity to play with various notable artists. Dario has been touring consistently throughout the USA and Europe since 2006.
Commented LIZZY BORDEN singer and namesake: "Dario has played three shows with us so far — Germany, Holland and Hollywood, California — and was magnificent at them all. He fits in so perfectly with us; I just know all the LIZZY BORDEN fans around the world are going to be blown away when they see him play."

Lizzy Borden is confirmed for this year’s Rocklahoma festival
“We are all extremely excited to bring the Lizzy Borden show to ROCKLAHOMA this year. After playing “bang your head” in Germany and the “Sweden rocks” festival last year to amazing reviews, as well as Co/headlining the “Keep it true” festival this year, it will be an honor to finally bring the blood to an American festival. I have a few surprises up my sleeves and we plan on playing some songs we have never played on stage before. We have heard so much about this festival from some of our friends the last couple of years and we can’t wait to bring our brand of American metal to the ROCKLAHOMA Stage.” - Lizzy Borden
In a career spanning 26 years, Lizzy Borden was created in 1983 in Hollywood California. Spitting venom, stage blood and dripping grease paint while breathing life into bizarre characters bred precisely for the stage. Theme oriented creations such as, Love You to Pieces (1985) Menace to Society (1986) Visual Lies (1987) Master of Disguise (1989) Best Of (1994) Deal with the Devil (2000) and Appointment with death (2008) forever cemented icon status to the master showman from the dawn of heavy metal.
With the release of Lizzy Borden’s latest disk “Appointment with Death” Lizzy and the boys tore through 2008 for that badge of honor all the while stealing the show at some of Europe’s greatest summer festivals. The new Appointment with Death show received nothing less then rave reviews from Major European press like “The best show of the entire festival”, “A 9 out of 10”, “Lizzy Borden was the hit of the festival” .
The end of summer ‘08 brought the show back home rampaging right through North America, destroying every House of Blues in its path all the way through the states. Showing no signs of letting up Lizzy Borden finished ‘08 performing in 9 countries on a winter tour of Europe. While the show stormed its way through Europe, the first video from “AWD” “Tomorrow Never Comes”, was nominated for video of the year on MTV's “Headbangers Ball”, a great way to finish the year.
2009 opened with the creation of a new Lizzy Borden video "Under Your Skin". “Skin” premiered on MTV2 Saturday March 29th ‘09 with a controversial topic (about teenage girls cutting themselves); the heavy duty subject was just the thing to start the year off on an artistic note.
Most bands that have been around as long as Lizzy Borden, the days of a new video on MTV are long gone, however Lizzy Borden have 2 videos from the latest CD, "Tomorrow Never Comes" and “Under Your Skin” in rotation on MTV’s Headbangers ball, Music Choice as well as radio stations around the country.
April ‘09 brought Lizzy back to Germany to headline the first night of the “Keep it True” festival. The show was second to none showcasing a 26 year career catalog of songs as well as the twin guitar assault of Dario Lorina and Chris Sanders, the 8 string bass menace Marten Andersson and the frantic Mohawk drummer Joey Scott. The show centers on Lizzy in his multitude of masks and props screaming bloody murder as he’s pushed and pulled by (the Lizzy girls, Julia and Steph) the angel and devil on his shoulders. The show ends in blood, smoke and fire just like a great rock show should. The entourage was still hungry for more and made a quick stop in Holland to perform the show one more time before returning home.
The summer of ’09 is about to become the next chapter in the Lizzy Borden saga with appearances at this year’s “Rocklahoma” and “Rock Gone Wild” festivals. To be continued…

Bass Player Marten Andersson Unveils new ESP 8 string bass
Bass Player Marten Andersson (Lizzy Borden, George Lynch, Starwood), a long time player and endorsee of ESP, has unveiled photo's of his new 8 string ESP Bass. "I have played ESP's for most of my life," explained Marten Andersson. "Working together with ESP, and based on my ideas and specs we have created a prototype of my first custom bass. This is a true, unique 8 string bass that has been refined in my head for a couple of years. I chose top components and the highest standards and craftsmanship that ESP offers. This bass stays in tune throughout a full headlining set and it is one of the loudest, most powerful basses I have ever heard."
Only available factory direct through ESP (at the moment) as a built to order. This bass was designed on Andersson's original specifications and comes with top of the line pickups and hardware, but can be outfitted with either EMG or Seymour Duncan pickups, Schaller or Dunlop Straplocks, and Black or Chrome hardware. Featuring a standard 8 string ESP B Series neck (with different headstock), 34" scale with 24 frets. The model incorporates a metallic red sparkle finish with star inlays as fret markers. Fretboard/inlay: rosewood/stars and Gotoh Tuners.
The new bass can be seen in the Lizzy Borden video ''Under Your Skin" which premiered on MTV's Headbangers Ball last weekend. The track comes off Lizzy Borden's CD "Appointment With Death" out world-wide on Metal Blade Records

Lizzy Borden video for “Under Your Skin” to premiere on Headbanger’s Ball!
Lizzy Borden’s latest visual spectacle, the video for Under Your Skin, from the band’s latest, Appointment With Death, will premiere on HeadbangersBlog.com on Thursday, March 26th. Its TV debut will occur on MTV 2’s Headbangers Ball on Saturday, March 28th.
Vocalist/mastermind Lizzy Borden comments on the creative process behind the video:
“After our last video Tomorrow Never Comes was nominated for video of the year on MTV’s Headbangers Ball we thought we had to step up the visuals big time on our next one.
For the Under Your Skin video we knew we wanted a storyline that mirrored the lyrics to the song. I wrote Skin about the teenage phenomenon that is happening to one out of every two-hundred teenage (mostly girls), that phenomenon is called cutting.
The video for Under Your Skin follows the lives of three very different girls, a rich girl neglected by her parents, a cheerleader with a “nothing’s ever good enough” mother and a poor girl with an alcoholic father. The girls all have complete opposite backgrounds but share the same big secret, they all cut themselves. In the video, Death (played by me) stalks the girls just waiting for the one who, on this occasion, will cut a little too deep.
We recruited first time director Ann Potenza for the job; she understood this song completely and wrote a great treatment that we all loved right away. She then recruited director of photography Gigi Malavasi to complete the team. Joey Scott (Drummer of LB) and Ann scouted locations and hired our cast, (the rich girl in the video is my niece, Christina Farr).
We wanted something that would showcase the song and the band, but with this video we got a whole lot more. My goal has always been to entertain, but if we can bring awareness to something like this, all the better. I was at a party recently talking to some girl and telling her that our new video was about cutting, she showed me the scars on her arm, that’s how common this is.
Hope you like the video and if you are or know someone that cuts themselves check out the PSA at the end of the video, there is information that may help.” Lizzy Borden
