Danko Jones kicks off U.S. west coast tour September 10th

Fresh off a long summer of European gigs, high energy Toronto rockers Danko Jones are bringing their signature cache of catchy guitar riffs, stage bravado, and high-energy Rock back to the U.S. for a handful of dates. Fans will have the fortunate opportunity to see the band at five venues on the west coast, starting today. Known for their raw power and passion for playing live, this is a band not to be missed. It also marks the American debut of new drummer Atom Willard (Social Distortion, The Offspring).

No strangers to enormous Rock festival stages, the band play Phoenix’s KUPD Red, White, & UFest Saturday September 10th. They’ll be sharing the stage with metal pioneers Anthrax, Five Finger Death Punch (with whom Danko Jones played at the Q101 Twisted 2010 show in Chicago, IL), Filter, Black Veil Brides, and others.

For those of you living near Orange County, California, you have no excuse to miss their free September 11th show at Slidebar in Fullerton, CA. There’s no better way to wrap up your weekend than with a night of hard-hitting, balls to the wall Rock! If you need to shake off a bad case of "the Mondays", or just shake your ass, come see the band at The Casbah in San Diego on September 12th. If you’re feeling frisky in San Francisco, check out Dank Jones show at Bottom of the Hill Sept.13th. Wrapping up their latest U.S. stint will be a memorable set at The Roxy on Sunset Strip on Sept. 14th.  Be sure to get your tickets now, as it may very well be sold out at the door. http://www.dankojones.com/tour

If you are a fan of Danko Jones (or just balls to the wall Rock music, in general), be sure you take advantage of the chance to catch their west coast stops. If you don’t live close enough to drive, do yourself a favor: Call in sick to work, book a flight, and come check these guys out. It's the best money you'll ever spend on a Rock 'n' Roll show. It looks like it’s going to be a long, cold winter in the U.S. with all their foreseeable future bookings in Europe. Then again, a visit to Denmark or Spain might make for a great winter getaway…
