In this episode, Steven Michael interviews Rough Cutt drummer Dave Alford, guitarist Chris Hagar, and new singer Steven St. James. We talk about the band’s history, the musical chairs of musicians that occurred on the Sunset Strip in the 80s, and what the band’s plans will be for the upcoming year.
History
Rough Cutt was formed on the Sunset strip in the early 80s by drummer Dave Alford and Jake E Lee who had just left another Sunset Strip band called Mickey Ratt, which later became Ratt. Together with singer Paul Shortino, keyboardist Claude Schnell and bassist Joey Cristofineli they started playing out in many of the popular Sunset Strip clubs. Eventually guitarist Chris Hagar and Bassist Matt Thorr who were also in Mickey Ratt joined the band as the second guitar player and bass player replacing Cristofineli.
The band now consist of :
Singer Steven St. James
Guitarists Chris Hagar and Darren Householder
Drummer Dave Alford
And Bassist – Jeff Buehner

Love you guys but you are doing a lot of interview episodes lately. Although I love hearing about forgotten bands, I’d rather have the topics mixed in with more mainstream artists too. Also could use some bonus episodes.
Hey Cindy – Thanks for listening. Thanks for your feedback as well. The interviews come as the artist have time and so we try and space them out and do an interview episode every other week. Themes episodes are great to do, but we have always done interviews as well. Hopefully if you give some of our interview episodes a chance you will find them entertaining even if you don’t know the artist we are talking to. “Mainstream” artist is a broad term. What may be mainstream to you, may not be to us. We don’t do a whole lot of mainstream because, well it’s mainstream and we try and expose some stuff people may not have heard yet. If you have a chance and you’re on Facebook, please join our “Growin’ Up Rock Loud Minority” Facebook group. It’s a private group where we discuss future topics for the show and bands we are discovering, concerts, and more. – Again we appreciate the feedback and we do hear you. We will also try to get our some bonus episodes, but we are both still working from home in our day jobs so we can only do what we can do. – Peace- Love- and RnR
