| | SAN FRANCISCO, CA (February 9, 2023) — Perris Records announces the reissue of the Roxx Gang CD "The Voodoo You Love" on February 17th. This reissue features a bonus track "Magic Carpet Ride". Roxx Gang
first signed with indie label Perris Records in 1995 and released their
much anticipated second CD entitled “The Voodoo You Love”. This CD
leaned the band back toward it’s original
blues-rock roots that were hinted at on songs like “Ball-N-Chain,” “Red
Rose” and “Fastest Gun In Town” on “Thing You’ve Never Done Before.”
“The Voodoo You Love” received great reviews, Radio And Records said, “Roxx Gang are Florida’s premier hard rock band. They’ve amassed quite a following in that state with their powerful live shows. Their new CD has the potential to break the band
all over America.” A European rock magazine said, “The Voodoo You Love”
is the fireworks of rock-n-roll; the future of 90’s glam starts here.”
“The Voodoo You Love” went on to be one of the biggest selling CD in the
history of Perris Records. The Sam Phillips family (Elvis, Johnny Cash)
company Select-o-Hits in Memhis TN contacted Perris Records about this Roxx Gang release and started a long time distribution deal with hundreds of Perris Records artist that still carry's on 28 years later. Kevin Steele, lead vocalist Roxx Gang, "The Voodoo You Love was the second Roxx Gang record. It was produced by the band
with Carl Canedy (The Rods, Anthrax) and was mixed by Jon Mathias
(Dickie Betts, Ian Hunter, Manowar). The reason for the time gap between
the first Roxx Gang record and The Voodoo You Love was that Virgin offered to make a second record to be released on their Charisma label. The band
opted out of that deal with Virgin and we signed with CBS/Epic which
was bought by Sony shortly after we signed. Sony then fired the staff at
Epic and released many of the bands on the Epic label including Roxx Gang.
These events along with the onset of "Grunge" rock delayed the release
of The Voodoo You Love until it found a home on Perris Records. The
Voodoo You Love is my favorite Roxx Gang
record as it was a move away from Things You've Never Done Before's
more "Metal" sound to a classic "Rock-n-Roll '' sound that included
piano, horns and saxophone on various cuts. What most people don't know
about The Voodoo You Love is that the Things You've Never Done Before
lineup recorded this record. Two songs, "Time Bomb" and "Thick As
Thieves." were added afterwards and recorded by the now new lineup
pictured on the album cover. The new reissue contains the bonus track
"Magic Carpet Ride" (original song not the Steppenwolf classic) that was
an outtake from The Voodoo You Love sessions. I can't for the life of
me remember why we didn't include it on the record because it's a really
cool song" Order CDs Track listing and songwriters 1. Daddys' Farm (Kevin Steele)
