LIZZY BORDEN: Promotional Video For ROCKLAHOMA Appearance Released
June 18, 2009LIZZY BORDEN has uploaded a promotional video (see below) for the band's appearance at the Rocklahoma festival, which is scheduled to take place July 9-12, 2009 on the Catch The Fever Festival Grounds in Pryor, Oklahoma.
A photo of the brand new LIZZY BORDEN lineup — featuring the group's latest addition, 19-year-old guitarist Dario Lorina — can be viewed below. The picture was taken by photographer Alex Solca backstage at the Whisky A Go Go in Hollywood, California right before the band's performance at the Michelle Meldrum memorial/benefit concert on May 26.
LIZZY BORDEN's current lineup:
Lizzy Borden - Vocals
Marten Andersson - Bass
Chris Sanders - Guitar
Joey Scott - Drums
Dario Lorina - Guitar
At age 16, Lorina 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."
Guitarist Ira Black announced his departure from LIZZY BORDEN in February. The axeman, who previously played with METAL CHURCH, VICIOUS RUMORS and HEATHEN, recently joined PROPHESY, the new U.S./German group featuring vocalist Brian O'Connor (ex-VICIOUS RUMORS) and guitarist Fabian Schwarz (PARADOX, RUNAMOK, THE NEW BLACK).
Former LIZZY BORDEN guitarist Corey Daum (a.k.a. Corey James) was killed in a car crash on January 24, 2009 in Nashville, Tennessee. He was 39 years old. According to The Tennessean, a Kentucky man was charged with vehicular homicide after police said he drove into a concrete wall, killing Daum.
Daum was a member of LIZZY BORDEN from 1989 to 1996, although he didn't appear on any of the band's studio albums.
Another former LIZZY BORDEN guitarist, Alex Nelson, was killed in a head-on collision on May 17, 2004.
