Texacala Jones is the coolest rock star in the world. Nobody can touch her. Axl Rose is a just bratty amateur in comparison. She’s destroyed more hotel rooms than every member of Motley Crue combined on one tenth of the budget, and has casually strolled away from more fiery disasters than Evel Knieval.

Tex was wild, free, and sexy as hell, and her band was young, mean, and ready for anything. Of course, LA loved ‘em, and they remained club favorites for years. They released three myth-making albums while together, all on Enigma Records – a self-titled EP in 1984, their only full-length album, “Life’s So Cool
