Skitzo is a thrash metal band from Santa Rosa, California, United States. The band was formed in 1980 in Healdsburg, California, when Lance Ozanix and several other people joined and called their band Venom. The name was later changed to Skitzo in 1981, after discovering that there is already a band with the same name.[1]
The band's lead singer and songwriter, Lance Ozanix, vomits at the end of the band's performances so that the band can remain "recognizable".[1][3] Ozanix can regurgitate his food and propel it 30 feet.[2]
Ozanix appeared in an episode of Judge Judy when a woman, Sadie Luke, sued him for vomiting on her dress while Skitzo was performing at a club. Judge Judy believed that the vomiting was assault, because she was unaware that it was part of the act. Ozanix lost the case and had to pay $500 for damages as ruled by Judy.[4] Skitzo was on the Jerry Springer Show between 1999-2004 making various guest appearances, regurgitating green vomit on Springer's stage, and causing "riots" in the audience. Lance Ozanix has been a guest of Howard Stern and appeared on Ripley's Believe it or Not selling his vomit paintings for $5000 each. In 1996 Ozanix was winner #3 of the NBC TV show Strange Universe.
Skitzo performed at the Phoenix Theater in Petaluma, California on October 8, 2011, for the band's 30th anniversary, and in 2016 the band celebrated their 35th anniversary.[5]
