"Austin never disappoints me," said an elated Jesse "Boots Electric" Hughes from the stage Tuesday night at Stubb's, one of the Texas capitol's premiere venues, as his band the Eagles of Death Metal opened the night for headliner the Hives. And Hughes, in turn, never disappoints an Austin crowd, or any crowd for that matter, since he's known as a rocker who delivers every time.

Last night (June 2) at Austin, TX's Mohawk venue, as the BellRays' soulful frontwoman Lisa Kekaula stepped foot on the tiny stage sporting tall, red suede boots and a black dress, the crowd's eyes were intently fixated, waiting for the fiery songstress to lead the Riverside, CA-based rockers into song.
