April 6, 2024, 8 months ago
Toronto rocker Danko Jones has checekd in with a message for the fans via Instagram. Check it out below.
Danko: "Did you know there's a 7” of my onstage banter called Having Fun With Danko Jones On Stage? It was put out by @yeahright_records a while and you can listen and digitally purchase it at yeahrightrecords.bandcamp.com."
From a concept initially conceived by Colonel Tom Parker as a way to get a bigger slice of RCA’s Elvis pie, then further made famous by Black Flag roadie Joe Cole’s tape of Venom stage banter released by Thurston Moore’s Ecstatic Peace label, this 7” compiles 8 minutes of classic Danko stage banter hand-picked by Danko Jones from the man’s personal collection of board tapes from 1998 to 2005.
Having Fun With Danko Jones On Stage was originally releasd on August 8, 2008.
Following their much acclaimed, eleventh studio album, Electric Sounds (released in September 2023 on AFM Records), the undisputed kings of balls-out rock’n’roll, Danko Jones, have unleashed a high-voltage, new track entitled "Waiting For You".
This previously-unreleased song is a bonus track taken off the upcoming Danko Jones Electric Sounds Deluxe Version, that is slated for a digital release on April 12. Additionally to the album Electric Sounds, the digital Deluxe Version will include “Waiting For You” and a second bonus track, “Haunting Me”.
Furthermore, Danko Jones has announced to release a limited, 10” vinyl edition on April 12, entitled "4x10", that consists of both bonus tracks as well as two unreleased live songs.
Frontman Danko comments: "We cooked up this new ditty, Waiting For You, just to add to the colossal rock that is Electric Sounds. Think of it as a little something from us to you.”
Get the party started and listen to "Waiting For You" below. Also available on all digital services here.
With Electric Sounds, Danko Jones have stormed international album charts (Sweden #12, Germany #18, Switzerland #24), with consecutive top radio chart entries like with their hit singles "Good Time", "Guess Who's Back" and "Get High?", ruling the German Rock Radio Charts at a phenomenal #1 position. On their ensuing, European album release tour, Danko Jones sold out numerous shows, with many more live dates to kick off by the end of this month in Stockholm, Sweden. Furthermore, the band has just been nominated for a Juno Award, the Canadian equivalent of a Grammy Award. Winners will be announced on March 24.
Without any doubt, Electric Sounds has the instant sound and feel of a classic. When the wheel is spinning freely and propelling you forward, there’s no need to reinvent the damn thing: instead, the Canadian trio is simply honing and refining their craft, and always at full volume. From the chest-out chutzpah of the opening "Guess Who’s Back" and the muscular new wave strut of "Good Time", the ultimate pothead anthem "Get High?" to the title track’s promise to “smash a thousand guitars tonight!” and "Stiff Competition"’s angular, cock-eyed stomp and juddering bull’s-eye of chorus, Electric Sounds is a deceptively diverse affair. No band has ever sounded more ready to hit the road than the pumped-up threesome showcased on hell-for-leather ragers like "Eye For An Eye", "What Goes Around" and mad-eyed and murderous closer "Shake Your City".
Electric Sounds was produced by Eric Ratz, and guest spots from Tyler Stewart (Barenaked Ladies) on "She’s My Baby", Damian Abraham of Fucked Up on "Get High?" and guitarist Daniel Dekay (from Canadian thrash legends Exciter) on "Electric Sounds" complete the picture with a snotty flourish.
With the upcoming Deluxe Version in addition to Electric Sounds as well as the "4x10" Vinyl edition, Danko Jones present their fans some highly-collectable highlights featuring previously-unreleased bonus material, showcasing their amplitude of songwriting skills, an irrepressible energy and the reliability always providing a damn good time.
