I think you're stoned Danko Jones will perform live on Sonic 102.9 Edmonton around 1pm in front of a small audience. And then for the evenings festivities, at the Cook County Saloon. The support band is the Murder City Sparrows at 9:30 and then Danko Jones at 10:45. Throughout the night, Export A will throw t-shirts at you and try and sell you cigarettes. I also think people should bring more signs to the show like its wrestling match.

Alright... this show WAS THE BEST YET!!!! Danko Jones, in a country bar in Edmonton... instead of forgetting about that fact, he addressed it! Playing goofy country riffs, wearing a way too small cowboy hat, 2 stepping around on stage...
The banter was the most funny shit I have heard in a long time. He told the crowd "this is our last song, but not really. See, we'll go off-stage then you'll chant my name, then we'll come back and play a few more, then we'll be done"
Classic.
Nice to meet some of the road crew, parkdale was one. The other guy I think named Corey, but I dont think he has a board name.
Also awesome to head backstage and chat with the band before and after the show. The girls were piling into the dressing room like you wouldnt believe. One drunk chick was telling JC and I about her time at burger king flipping whoppers for a living... we were "impressed."
Best part of the night for me was during PLAY THE BLUES, looking at JC, pointing at my wedding ring and him laughing on stage. Danko's solo's RIGHT in front of me were cool too.
4 from AOF, 2 from BAL, 2 from WSB, and 8 from SITE. Thanks to JC for the brand new Danko Jones pick (guitar) and for parkdale for the two Danko shredded!!!
Great fucking concert!

Is what we did on the last Dutch tour because he kept parading his buttcrack around the stage before the shows. Glad to hear you had an awesome night!

lucky guy, got to meet the band and crew.... i envy you. Dude, just hang around after a show. They're always around about 20 minutes after the set signing stuff, posing for pics, and chatting with fans. Class act guys.

We actually had to go backstage to meet the band (before and after the set). The dressing room was full of drunk girls... kind of funny. With all the radio people there doing promotions, I dont even know if the band made it out of the backstage area before the bar closed. But usually, they make an appearance!
I wish I could be there again... ;D

I believe it was a Squire Strat guitar that was given away based on a number from a card you picked up... am I right?

You are correct... I won the Squire Strat guitar by getting my number drawn at the end of the show. I was quite suprised to win. I will try and post a picture of it in the next couple of days.

hoping be able to get to london or brighton to catch this tour,(no welsh date again! ) providing i can raise enough cash for travel, hotels, ticket etc. i spent several hundred quid last time so i'm not sure if i can afford to go yet. so if anyone sees me there i'll be the girl that's NOT DRUNK because i don't have enough cash left to even get a little 'tipsy'.I will ,however still manage to make a prize FOOL of myself (as i did last time, ) thanks to sleep deprivation induced MANIA ;D..... the night before the london date me 'n' the divas are singing with a mad bunch of valleys boys who like to play till about 3am....my mental state will hinge on what time we get 'asked'(power off) to vacate the stage ( barstaff 'want to go home'). yeh, london's looking a slightly psychedelic prospect!
