Danko Jones: 100% Sex Danko Jones are a phenomenon: The guys from Canada are playing a timeless mixture of high energy Rock (`n Roll), no attempt to follow trends blindly, no compromises, no bullshit!

Their new album ``Rock `n Roll is Black and Blue`` (STALKER review here) is out on the market by Sept 21, 2012. Enough reasons to take the chance at Wacken Open Air for a chat with band mastermind Danko himself! >> more/mehr
