After Kay stopped performing with Steppenwolf, former members Goldy McJohn and Nick St. Nicholas, formed a "revival act" called "New Steppenwolf". McJohn did not last long, and various incarnations included a "revolving door of musicians" consisting of "jobbing players". The Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock & Roll described these bands as "unprofessional, bogus versions" of Steppenwolf. Although Kay originally licensed use of the "New Steppenwolf" name, he later sued for violation of contract. St. Nicholas agreed in 1980 to cease use of the name, but legal disputes about promotional use of the Steppenwolf name continued until 2000.
