Danko Jones adds final tour dates

Danko Jones has announced a new round of U.S. tour dates in September, closing out the band’s U.S. summer tour. The dates kick off September 10th in Phoenix at KUPD UFest with Anthrax and Five Finger Death Punch on the bill followed by a run of west coast dates before wrapping in Los Angeles on September 14 at The Roxy. The band is coming off their summer festival tour of Europe performing in Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, Romania, Hungary, Finland and the Netherlands.



Earlier this summer, Danko Jones and Bad Taste Records re-released the band’s latest 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 Below the Belt video trilogy was shot over the course of 2010 and 2011 for the album tracks “Full of Regret,” “Had Enough,” and “I Think Bad Thoughts.” The video for “Full of Regret,” a highly-stylized, film-like music video noir, has been described as "one-part 'Sabotage,' one-part Guy Ritchie, one-part Quentin Tarantino” and stars actor Elijah Wood and actress Selma Blair, with featured guest appearances by Lemmy Kilmister (Motörhead) and Mike Watt (Minutemen, fIREHOSE, Stooges).

SPIN.com called the video for “Had Enough,” starring Ralph Macchio, “a noir-ish crime story that's like a Charles Bukowski novel come to life” with Billboard.com hailing the final installment of the trilogy for “I Think Bad Thoughts,” as being “filled with badassery on so many levels.” “I Think Bad Thoughts” stars actress Jena Malone (Sucker Punch) with Elijah Wood, Ralph Macchio and Mike Watt reprising their roles from the previous two videos.

Described by Maxim as “AC/DC sniffing glue with Motley Crue” and hailed by SPIN as “the world’s most entertaining hard rockers,” Danko Jones (vox/guitar), John Calabrese aka JC (bass), and Dan Cornelius (drums) have relentlessly toured the world over. Sharing stages with everyone from hard rock icons Motörhead and Sepultura to rock heavyweights Guns N’ Roses and Nickelback to musical legends the Rolling Stones, the Toronto trio may very well be one of the best, or worst, kept secrets in music today.
