New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Girlie Action Media & Marketing) Mustachioed madman and frontman of
Eagles of Death Metal,
Jesse Hughes will release his debut solo album as Boots Electric on Dangerbird Records today.
September 20th. He has also assembled a crew of some of LA�s eclectic rockers to take the Boots Electric material on the road. Titled Honkey Kong, the album was produced by Tony Hoffer (Beck, Depeche Mode, The Kooks) and co-written with legendary keyboardist Money Mark, best known for his many collaborations with the Beastie Boys.
As these collaborators suggest, Hughes is showing a whole new side of himself that was only hinted at with his work in
Eagles of Death Metal. His new material, as Boots Electric, explores a more keyboard-heavy, danceable sound and oozes more of Hughes� beloved swagger than ever before. For a taste of what to expect click
