Danko Jones - Had Enough


Danko Jones is a Canadian rock band from Toronto, Ontario. The band consists of Danko Jones (vocals/guitar), JC (also known as John Calabrese) (bass guitar), and Dan Cornelius (drums).


During this week did Danko Jones visit Sweden for a tour, he made a stop in Stockholm over the weekend and a gig at the Bandit Rock Awards that was held at a Sold out Munchenbryggeriet.

Bands like Plan Three, Royal Republic, Pain, Bullet, Danko Jones and Sick Puppies that you could read about yesterday. Danko himself sneaked around and checked out all the bands that played, it is obvious that he is very interested in music.

So if you are around any of the dates Danko Jones is doing, go and see them, they really rock your socks off, they did a really good performance at Munchenbryggeriet. Although I am dead tired today so I go and humming the songs that were played, it was good as hell. I´m a bit eager to take a little trip for a gig nearby, such the one at Uppsala soon, check out the tour dates below.

It was really an interesting evening, very well-known musicians were mingling there, many of them were nominated in the Bandit Rock Awards, it was one or two well-known face´s and long curly hair´s here and there.

Here are the winning entries.
