Toronto, Ontario, Canada (1996 – present)

Danko Jones is a three-piece hard rock band formed in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in 1996. The lineup consists of vocalist and guitarist Danko Jones, bassist John Calabrese and drummer Dan Cornelius (who took over the drumsticks from Damon Richardson, just before releasing the “Sleep Is The Enemy”-album early 2006). To distinguish the band from the singer, Jones (which is not his real name) is also known by the nickname The Mango Kid.

The band first received attention in Canadian indie rock circles for its 1999 EP My Love is Bold, an unabashedly sex-drenched blend of blues and punk sung with swaggering confidence by Jones, in a suit and on occasion, a fedora. On their more recent albums, the band has evolved in a more heavy metal direction.

The band also has a large following in Europe, especially in The Netherlands, Germany, Finland, Norway and Sweden.

They’ve released their 4th album named “Sleep is the Enemy” in 2006 with the three hit singles all across Europe “Baby Hates me”, “First Date” and “Don’t Fall in Love”. They also released a live DVD, “Sleep is the Enemy: Live in Stockholm” which was recorded at Munchen-Bryggeriet in Stockholm, Sweden on March 15 2006.

Both Brant Bjork and John Garcia of Kyuss fame have recently joined the band onstage for shows. John Garcia also appears on the track “Invisible” from the newest record.

1998 Sugar Chocolate (7”)
1998 Danko Jones (EP)
1999 My Love Is Bold (EP)
2001 I’m Alive and on Fire (Compilation album of the first two EPs)
