Way back in the beginning of ninebullets.net, I wrote a piece about the band Roxx Gang. There was a period in the late '80s when I thought they were quite simply the bees knees.
Flash forward 20 years or so to former Roxx Gang frontman Kevin Steele's newish band, Mojo Gurus, which is celebrating the release of their new disc, Let's Get Lit With, this Friday. The Mojo Guru's are Kevin Steele, Vinnie Granese, Doc Lovett and Mark Busto, and they've just signed a multi-album deal with True North Records. Along with Let's Get Lit, True North will be reissuing the Guru's first two cd's, Hot Damn and Shakin' the Barn, on March 24. To celebrate the occasion, the Mojo Gurus are throwing a big ol' party at Dave's Aqua Lounge and you're all invited. Joining the Gurus will be another one of Tampa's shining lights, Tailgunner Joe and The Earls of Slander.
