A notorious name amongst Bay Area thrash/crossover circles, SKITZO is renowned for its outrageous stage shows and publicity moves. Frontman Lance Ozanix has proven to be the mainstay of the band which has issued a prodigious body of, mainly self-financed, work. Ozanix gained fame by vomiting onto a groupie on the "Jerry Springer" TV show, causing the Canadian authorities to ban the offending show. His exploits have also been featured on "Ripley's Believe It Or Not". Onstage the band employs "puke groupies" Octavia and Sunny Delight.

SKITZO has toured the world many times over sharing the stage with such impressive acts as THE MENTORS, ROB ZOMBIE, MALEVOLENT CREATION, ACID BATH, D.R.I., FORBIDDEN, ANGEL WITCH, FAITH NO MORE, EXODUS, THE VANDALS, and AGNOSTIC FRONT. SKITZO was even given the honor of playing Sam Kinison's wake!
