Black Star Riders

Black Star Riders is essentially the continuation of the classic 70's hard rock band Thin Lizzy. Lizzy formally broke up in the mid-eighties when leading man Phil Lynott passed away, but touring lineups have played often over the years since. Eventually the current lineup wanted to record new material, but out of respect to Lynott and the Thin Lizzy name, the decision was made to formally create a new band, and thus Black Star Riders was born. The core members here also continue to play tribute gigs as Thin Lizzy.
