Remember Skitzo’s green-slime antics on ‘The Jerry Springer Show’? The band is back in Petaluma

When Lance Ozanix unleashed Skitzo on Sonoma County in 1981, the Bay Area thrash metal scene was gaining speed. But the band, led by Ozanix, had ambitions beyond playing faster and louder. From the start, Skitzo embraced a theatrical strain of heavy metal, building a reputation for outrageous stage shows, shifting lineups and a frontman whose signature trick — projectile-vomiting bright green slime — became part of the band’s underground legend.

Until recently, there has been no Dublin version of “Alexander’s Feast” to perform due to its previously incomplete score, and the piece has never been seen in this country. But that will change this week when Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra & Chorale presents the U.S. premiere of the Dublin version at Stanford’s Bing Concert Hall, San Francisco’s Herbst Theatre and Berkeley’s First Congregational Church. It took of years of intensive research and work by two men — renowned musicologist and leading Handel scholar Donald Burrows and PBO Music Director Peter Whelan — to recreate the score used for the Dublin version.
