What can be said about Rozzi Lane that hasn't been said a hundred times over? Oh, that's right, nothing's been said about them since 1988 when they released the "Big Bang Babiez" single on their own cleverly-named Big Bang Records. I kid them, but only because I've always loved this record, which at the time was more "pop" than "metal", unlike many of their Sunset Strip contemporaries. And I can only imagine the shit they must've gotten looking like they did in their actual hometown of Upland, California. What else? Let's see. Guitarist Mikey Marquee later went on to play in a great LA band called Extra Fancy, featuring one Brian Grillo on vocals. Before Extra Fancy Grillo fronted Lock Up, who also featured a pre-RATM Tom Morello on guitar. Okay, now I'm just boring myself. Here's the single, "Betty Angel"/"Beauty's Only Skin Deep":

DeleteI just came across an old flyer from Rozzi Lane Circa 1987 from when they were going to play The Roxy Theatre on Sun. Aug. 23 at 9pm with Cat House. Jack Horner was the lead singer. I don't know if anyone is interested in seeing it or if it can even be uploaded. I remember hanging out with all the guys a couple of times because I was Jack's girl for a minute. They were all so kind. :0)
ReplyDeleteI used to work with Jack Horner at Music Plus back around the same time. Any idea what ever happened to him?
