The Lost Boys Tour made a stop in Henderson last week and Stickup Kid got things started early with an uptempo set that really showcased how much they've grown as a band over the past couple of years. Hot off a tour of Japan, they played highlights from their latest record Future Fire, “The Depths of Me” and “Lost,” but their best song of the night (and a personal favorite of mine), was “Lighthouse.” I’m a big fan of Stickup Kid, and I can’t think of a better way to have started out the night. ...

I’d never seen Hank 3 live before but had heard rumors about how great he is, so I was really psyched for this show. There were no openers, as Hank fills the night with three different sets, one county, one hellbilly and one metal. ...
