Danko Jones

you just take three individuals,put them on high voltage and give 'em a nuclear engine. Yiippiieehh, - and the result is Danko Jones. 
This canadian nitroglycerine is the the best example for having a trio on stage producing such a huge power, some bands with six member can't manage. Jesus wept!!! This is definately no sticks situation, but a maximum overdrive inferno, which is torturing our braincells and ears. Without compromise Danko Jones batter their concrete rhythm onto the audiance consisting of all age classes. 

They push us up. Beer beakers are flying like bullets through the air and land in the photopit and on me. But better on me, than on my camera, trying to get some decent pics. But don't worry, I'm taking care about my baby. I rather prefer beeing the victim for a beer shower in the first place. It's oughta be good for the hair anyway.

Danko Jones, that's Mr. Jones himself in the first place, who had been working in a Sexshop before the band. And nobody really knows, if this is his real name or not. On drums - Dan Cornelius (since recently)  and on bass John Calabrese. This band was foundad in 1996. And no, they don't dress up like bad Rock'n'Rollers with fucked up jeans and sleazy t-shirts. These three canadians wear Armani shirts and Gucci trousers and go for the slogan: "today most men look like they just rolled out of bed – but we don’t“. And they really do. The drummer looks like a conservative bankclerk and the bassist rather like a Karl Lagerfeld haute couture model. And Danko himself is sex pure. And I bet, they all wear a Rolex watsch. The secret is understatement. There is no big fuss on stage, only a simple band-slogan in the background. And there's no spectaclular stage show, just three rather good looking guys, who drive the devil outta hell with their instruments, - with nothing else- brutally, hard and only them nothing else. 

'The next song is about girls', Danko announces. 'Precicely it's about sex', - he continues. 'And even more precisely it's about oral sex. - It's about giving and not taking... etc. etc.....

Danko Jones knows exactly how to put various emotions into different tunes. Like I mentioned before, it's heavy, making no compromises, but with this certain arrogant attitude and electric overloaded energy and.... yeah a very sexy hip-move.
 
Yep, they've stand the test as a headliner act. And Danko Jones shows, that they don't nee da clichee, no long hair, no ripped off jeans and logo t-shirts and - too serious face expressions. It doesn't need a pyro show or other special effects to play a Rock'n'Roll concert, which is taking  the air for your breath. And we all are receiving a multiple highpoint. Danko's sado maso trip is finished including a few slaps into his own face.
My god, this was wonderful !!!
