Band Website: rozznet.com
Band Members: Rozz Williams, Ron Athey, Chuck Collison, Paris, and others
Influences: When Rozz left Christian Death, he teamed up with Chuck Collison and began working under the name The Happiest Place on Earth. Rozz described this as "street performance installation".
Rozz wanted to start making music again so, together with Chuck, he revived Premature Ejaculation. They worked first on tapes and then played some live shows, starting at The Krypt, using various noises and video images. The audiences were often hit by the flying meat or eyeballs that were thrown at them from the stage. One performance took place under a freeway in front of a selected group of friends.
In 1987 Rozz and Eva moved to San Francisco and were married. It was here that they started a new band that they called Shadow Project.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... width="425" height="350" ..
