Profile: In the summer of 1993, Shadow Project had come to an end, however a German tour for October had already been booked. Although all tickets, flyers and publicity for this tour would show Shadow Project, Rozz had decided that the band name should change to Daucus Karota. Rozz sang on the tour, Brian Butler was the guitarist, Mark Barone played bass and Christian Omar Madrigal Izzo was on drums. For one show Gitane DeMone drove from her home in Amsterdam to Germany to meet up with Rozz backstage. The Shrine EP by Daucus Karota was recorded in January 1994 with Mark Barone (bass), Chistian Omar Madrigal Izzo (drums) and Roxy (guitars). Daucus Karota returned to Europe for a month long European tour in November 1994, with Gitane DeMone filling the support slot. Rozz was found hanged on 1 April 1998. He was found by Ryan, his roommate in their West Hollywood apartment. He did not leave a suicide note and it is not known why Rozz would have wanted to take his own life. It is known that his alcoholism was beginning to affect him badly, but like his drug addictions, he had always managed to get through any physical and emotional problems that he had. Many of his friends believe that the date had a deeply personal significance for Rozz. A memorial was held at the El Rey Theatre shortly after his death, and a small gathering of family and friends offered his ashes to the earth at Runyon Canyon. christian now drums with c.d. 1334 & CHOKEBORE.Sounds Like: Influences: david bowie/iggy pop/T-REX/the germs/nirvana/jesus lizard/black sabbath. hunt sales,nick cave.Homepage: http://www.myspace.com/daucuskarotatheband Link 1: http://www.myspace.com/cd1334 Link 2: http://www.cd1334.com Link 3: http://www.chokebore.net
