Hailing from the Midwest, Raw Mojo's music comes straight from their gut - or as they like to call it, “the basement.” Unlike some bands, Raw Mojo is never afraid to embrace and flaunt their influences. The weird thing is that the band probably shouldn't work when you take each member's individual traits, tastes, and influences. But yet somehow, everything falls into place to create much more than just a sum of its parts. This is a group that writes and plays what they feel: no guidelines, no certain genres need to be met, just pure music. With Raw Mojo it's always music first, bullshit second.
Raw Mojo is like a family. They stick tight together and support their fans as much as their fans support them. What this family of Mojomongers provides is music for the young at heart (though probably not your grandparents' music). Mainly, the band has a “take what you will from us” punk like attitude as well as that “let's leave the stage in burning embers” feeling once they have rawked it. It's this kind of attitude that has many listeners saying, “I want to hear that again!” song after song. If the band has one bad habit, it’s to leave the stage leaving the audience wanting more.
As of January 2009, the band released it's debut "Veins". The album is available through many outlets including shows, the band's website, and iTunes. Of course, with the launch of the new Raw Mojo website there is a lot of virtual fan interactivity as well as sweet merchandise for you to horde. The band has CD's, Shirts, Shot Glasses, Posters, Stickers, Buttons, and the list goes on. It seems as if each show they have some unique collectible to offer. Oh, and they play shows...lots and lots of shows to appease the fans and the invisible hand of fate that drives the band.
Raw Mojo has focused their sights on the Midwest by playing venues in Illinois, Nebraska, and of course Iowa but the band has recently been considering stretching its legs and spreading the rawk. If you demand it, perhaps they will come to a city near you soon.
There is only ONE band around that brings that genuine, no-bullshit, genre-bending music experience that strives to rock your face! And that band is RAW MOJO!!
