Kevin Steele (Roxx Gang, Mojo Gurus)

Episode 138 - Kevin Steele from Roxx Gang & Mojo Gurus! Roxx Gang was another band that should have been much bigger in my opinion. The band had some tragedies and substance abuse issues, but did put out some great music. Their debut album “Things You’ve Never Done Before” was produced by Beau Hill (Warrant, Ratt) and went on to sell 250,000 copies. Kevin also formed the band Mojo Gurus which had a more eclectic sound. This was a fun interview as Kevin didn’t hold back. Hear all about the early days, his thoughts on a Roxx Gang reunion, the future of Mojo Gurus and what famous 80s rock band he turned down an audition for! 0:00:00 - Intro 0:01:38 - Welcome & Early Beginnings 0:03:58 - Influences of 1970s Glam Rock 0:05:40 - Playing in Florida & Getting Signed 0:08:45 - Guitarist Eric Carrell Tragedy 0:12:25 - "Red Rose" Song Tribute to Eric 0:13:35 - Producer Beau Hill 0:15:45 - "Things You've Never Done Before" Album 0:18:00 - Live Shows & Performing with Gene Simmons 0:20:00 - "Voodoo You Love" Album 0:24:05 - Lineup Problems & Timing 0:26:45 - Roxx Gang & Mojo Gurus 0:28:30 - Window for Glam Rock Bands 0:30:50 - Future of Roxx Gang & Offers to Reunite 0:32:30 - Opinion of 70s Rock Bands Today 0:34:45 - Musical Taste Changing & Aging 0:38:35 - Price of a Roxx Gang Reunion 0:39:00 - Producer Jack Douglas 0:41:05 - Offer to Try Out for Skid Row 0:42:39 - Former Guitarist Stacey Blades 0:46:00 - Vinyl Collection & Music Fan 0:49:15 - The End of Mojo Gurus? 0:50:21 - Next Musical Project or Supergroup 0:51:55 - How Rock Music Has Changed 0:57:50 - N.O.R.M.L.
