The Mojo Blues Band is a blues band from Austria which was formed in 1977 by guitarist Eric Trauner and pianist Joachim Palden. Before 1977, the founders of the band played in clubs of Vienna and in 1977 Palden won a boogie woogie contest. The first prize was a record contract, so they decided to form a band which they named "Mojo Blues Band". Being the only blues band in Vienna they were often booked as backing band for blues artists who were touring in Austria, backing up artists like Johnny Shines, J.B. Hutto, Charlie Musselwhite, Louisiana Red, Sunnyland Slim, Champion Jack Dupree, Homesick James, Honeyboy Edwards, Leon Thomas, Katie Webster, Hal Singer, Jan Harrington and Eddie Clearwater.

In 1980 they teamed up with Dana Gillespie and changed their style more into rhythm 'n blues. At the early 1990s, their song Alligator Walk became a hit in the US Shag (a special dance) scene and following this they toured North and South Carolina. 1989 they visited Chicago and came back with 16 hours of material they had recorded with musicians from Chicago. The CD "The Wild Taste of Chicago" was made out of these tapes. In 1993 Christian Dozzler left the band to form his own group so Eric Trauner had to learn playing the harmonica. /Wikipedia

Personnel: Erik Trauner (guitar, vocals); Martin Wichtl (saxophone, lyricon); Joachim Palden (piano); Erwin Kavcik (bass); Bobby Sperling (drums).
