About Gizz Butt

Graham Anthony "Gizz" Butt is a British musician who is the lead vocalist and lead guitarist for the punk band Janus Stark. He is best known for being the live guitarist for The Prodigy in the late 1990s. His own band Janus Stark, from the same era, enjoyed a minor hit with the song "Every Little Thing Counts" from the album Great Adventure Cigar. In 1978, his family relocated to Peterborough, where Butt formed his first school band, The Northern Lights. Butt has been cited for his guitar skills. "I started collecting Beatles records from when I was 9 so George Harrison would have been the first influence but my brother Chris was a player and a massive heavy rock fan.
