About Me

Elizabeth Borden has been playing in clubs since she was 13 years old. Her first 2 gigs were at The RAT in Boston and CBGB's in NYC. Liz played in many punk bands until she formed the band LIZZIE BORDEN & the AXES(LBA). LIZZIE BORDEN & the AXES toured endlessly with many bands including: The Ramones, Cheap Trick,Spinal Tap, Flock of Seagulls,and many more. They signed to two record labels and toured some more. YOU can buy LBA on cdbaby.com.After LBA, Lizzie & her LBA guitar player, Rita Lavacchia, started the band LAVA BEAT. LAVA BEAT released one CD and won several awards in music. Liz & Rita also put out a CD - The Adventure Girls in 2002. The Adventure Girls is sold on CD Baby.Liz Left LAVA BEAT to start the Kick Ass, alternative rock band THE FINCH FAMILY. They Rock, The Roll, They sing, They are sold here on CD Baby. Still playing the The Finch Family, Liz wanted to put out something different than she had recorded before, so for the winter of 2003 Elizabeth and her friends decided to stay in the warmth of recording studios in Boston, NYC, & Los Angeles. The CD "Elizabeth Borden" was born.Liz moved back to Boston and started up the Liz Borden Band with her Finch Family bass player Kelly Johnson. They were joined my Rita Lavvachia, Lisa Addario on guitar and vocals, and John Kokas playing drums. A group of friends that play kick ass music and just want to have fun! Rita left The band in 2006 and new members Nancy on drums and Marian on guitar and backing vocals now completes the band.Liz has been called one of today's best songwriters. "I write songs all the time. It is one of my favorite things to do. I have hundreds of them. Ever since I can remember, I have written songs." Several of her songs are currently being shopped to major artists.

Sounds Like: Sporting wispy pop harmonies and a giant, three guitar wall of sound ("It really isn't sonics. We just had three guitarists, and no one wanted to give up playing guitar."), the group vacillate from Ramones-style power chord, pummeling to an even more ferocious "acid's-groovy-let's-kill-the-pigs"-type psychedelia. Popping a little, droning a little, tripping a little, the Liz Borden Band take all the better aspects of the past 30 years of rock and bring them into alignment with modern-rock taste. Borden, the chief architect of the sound, is by no means ready to slip into the easy-listening, world-weary acoustic strumming many of her contemporaries have gravitated toward. She claims the best is yet to come. Listen through the songs that constitute The Lizzie Borden band (Beverly/Raven Records), one is forced to wonder how much more of an edge a band could possibly deliver. From the opening Veruca Salt-meets-Lee Josephs's-LSD-flashback of "Desire" to the pop-metal rendition of Lulu's classic "To Sir with Love," the Liz Borden Band walk a tight line between real and surreal, hard and soft, razor-sharp black and white ranting and fuzzy, Technicolor vomiting. When Borden chants the title chorus to "Outside," a tune devoted to the negative slant of the evening news, you can practically hear her catharsis splash against the back of the toilet bowl. -The Boston Phoenix Newspaper
