Boots Electric is the alter ego of guitarist and vocalist Jesse "The Devil" Hughes, who formed the eclectic garage rock duo
Eagles of Death Metal along with longtime friend and
Queens of the Stone Age frontman
Josh Homme in 2008. The Greenville, South Carolina native, who also goes by the name “Fabulous Weapon” and cites
Little Richard as one of his biggest influences, is known for his enthusiastic dance moves and unpredictable stage behavior.
Honkey Kong, his dancefloor-ready, electro-rock, solo debut under the
Boots Electric moniker, was produced by
Tony Hoffer (
Beck,
Depeche Mode) and released in September, 2011 on Dangerbird Records. ~ James Christopher Monger
