Honkey Kong is a 2011 solo album by Eagles of Death Metal front man Jesse Hughes, under the pseudonym Boots Electric on Dangerbird Records.
[1] The album was released in September 2011, with the band playing their first live show one month prior.
All tracks are written by Jesse Hughes and Mark Nishita, except where notedmxdwn.com gave Honkey Kong a generally favorable review, saying "Despite what Hughes and fellow Eagles of Death Metal member have gone through in the past, the guy still manages to push fresh, exciting, music that sounds simply…effortless.
[3] rocksound.tv had a mostly positive review, saying, "A blend of electronic beats, keyboard-heavy dance grooves and hip-shaking pop underpinned by distorted guitar lines, this is funky and enjoyable stuff.
‘Speed Demon’ sees his rock ‘n’ roll roots in full blossom, though things take a turn for the worse when he tries his hand at electro-baladry on ‘No Fun’.
