Starwood

Starwood was officially formed in 2004, and its lineup included Lizzie Borden (vocals, electric rhythm guitar, acoustic guitar), Joey Scott-Harges (drums, percussion, backing vocals), Joe Steels (electric guitar, rhythm guitar, backing vocals), and Swedish-born Marten Andersson (bass, backing vocals). Starwood was not actually a new group—it was a 20-year-old group with a new name, a new look, a new image, and a new sound. In fact, Starwood was the Lizzy Borden group—Lizzie Borden, like Alice Cooper, was the name of both the group and the singer—and the four Starwood members had known each other long before 2004. Borden and Scott-Harges were founding members of the group Lizzy Borden back in 1984, and Andersson (who was also with the group Legacy) had been playing with them since 1992. Meanwhile, Steels knew Borden and Scott-Harges from Diamond Dogs (a punk project named after one of David Bowie's greatest albums of the 70s).
