It's been awhile since Western Canada got a taste. Hope this turns out to be true!
EDIT: What does 'laokas' mean?
EDIT 2: What does 'nait ookfest' mean?

Until its confirmed I am not believing anything...
but DAMN IT. Ookfest sucks.
Its a small community college specializing in who knows what. I will be going for one band only, if this is the case.
I cant remember the last time Danko Jones came to Edmonton as a "regular" act. Opened for buckcherry (I think...) at a dance bar, opened for big sugar at a crap country bar, was part of a MGD contest night at a dirty pub, and now OokFest.
I hate Edmonton.
I love Danko Jones though... so I guess OOKFEST is better than nothing.

5 years ago.... damn.... Also, nice for me - Sept 9th... my cousins wedding. And one of Jen's friends is getting married that day. ha... lucky me. Looks like I will be waiting another year or two to see Danko again. F. I know Dobbs hasnt sent out an email yet, but Danko is supposedly hitting the stage at 7pm sharp. Thats about the same time that supper would be starting at these weddings. . .  |

Aww, Baller, I feel bad for you Makes me realize how lucky I am. Same here, have seen them four times now this year and two more times to go (not trying to make you jealous Baller, but as it is a fact) But always remember the feeling when you finally get a DJ Gig ticket and the day they'll be playing in your town or near you, the feeling when they finally hit the stage and you'll be just blown away cause they're rocking so fucking hard! Always remember this Baller, that this show you'll be waiting for so long is going to be the greatest show (or at least one of the greatest shows) you have ever seen, and the waiting for it was soo worth it |

I'm trying to get confirmation of a possible Canadian tour right now. The Regina show is up on www.pollstar.com. Also the venue website has details up: www.thedistriktonline.com/concert.php?moreinfo=256. Now, we all know that we need to wait for official confirmation before we run out and buy tickets. But.... I'm really hoping this means a tour! Also, if you guys are right about Edmonton on the 9th, that means they'll be moving East to West - which means they'll be playing Winnipeg on the Thursday! Thursday here... and then a Friday night in Regina... only a 6 hour drive... hmm... road trip? |

It's true nothing is official, but on the ookfest website and the radio around here, Danko is being promoted up the wazoo... so I have to think it's only a matter of time.
It really friggin sucks that Danko Jones is FINALLY back in Edmonton, and my cousin is getting married that same day. And it isnt even a cousin that we never see. Basically like a brother to me.
So, I am hoping for a Calgary date on Sept. 10 and I will try my best to make a road trip. Driving 3 hours each way hardly seems like a chore!

I hope they play I LIKE TO BALL!!!!!!!!! Now you're expecting a little too much ;D But I am happy for you. Here in Holland we get lots of opportunities to see Danko (even though it's never enough), but some of you ain't so lucky. I think Rocky is our least fortunate member, I wonder how long it's been since he saw a show... |
