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.
