In 1989 Roxus supported international bands, Poison and Bon Jovi, on their respective Australian tours. Also, that year Dragan Stanić replaced Joe Cool on guitar. The band came to the attention of music commentator and promoter, Ian (Molly) Meldrum, who signed them to his Melodian label via Mushroom Records. The group issued two singles in 1989, "Stand Back / Spaghetti Wire" in July and "Body Heat / Don't Stop" in November. In 1990, they released a live EP, including live versions of the tracks "Stand Back" and "Body Heat.
In April 1991 Roxus supported US band, Warrant, on their Australian tour. In September that year their debut album, 'Nightstreet', was released, which reached #5 on the ARIA Albums Chart. In July they issued their most successful single, "Where Are You Now?", which is a power ballad that received considerable radio airplay and peaked at #13 on the ARIA Singles Chart and #11 on the AMR Singles Chart. In August, they followed up with "Bad Boys", which reached #39 on the ARIA chart, "Jimi G" was released in September.
In 1992, American AOR veteran Jeff Paris was hired to produce what was to be Roxus' second album. Recorded at Platinum recorders in Melbourne, the sessions yielded four tracks; "Invisible Man", "What You Don't Know", "Stop Playin' With My Heart" and "All The Way". Roxas and Stanic returned to Los Angeles with Paris, to mix the four completed songs. The album, however, was never completed and on New Year's Eve, 1992, Roxus played their last show before disbanding early in 1993.
