As previously reported, the Danko Jones song 'I’m Alive And On Fire' was featured in the latest episode of HBO’s hit television show True Blood. Episode 4 (original airdate July 17th) titled 'I’m Alive And On Fire' was named after the band’s track and debut album of the same name. The song, a powerfully heavy, fast-paced fan favorite, was used in its entirety during the end credits of the show. The episode will re-air throughout the week on HBO (check your local listings) and can be streamed online at HBOGo.com. No stranger to vampire folklore, Danko Jones filmed a vampire inspired video in 2006 for the song 'First Date', from the album Sleep Is The Enemy, which can be viewed below.
Recently, the band has announced a run of live shows in the US through August and September in support of the re-released full-length album Below The Belt as a deluxe reissue featuring two new bonus tracks titled 'Guest List Blues' and 'Rock N Roll Proletariat'. Also included in the newly expanded CD version is the entire acclaimed Below The Belt music video trilogy. The band is currently on a European festival tour in support of the release.
