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!
