I plan on seeing Danko for the 1st time later this month. To those of you who have been to their shows, do they typically do meet and greets?

Hiya Roxy! Sorry about the tour with the Damned getting cancelled? What part of the states do you live in? Have you been able to get to any of the recent shows? Meet 'n greets...depends on the type of show, venue, how popular they are in that location etc. I expect that if it's a showcase type gig there'll be formal meet 'n greets with media people or record company execs. If they're supporting another band in a larger venue they won't have a personal guest list and security will be tight...but they will usually stop for photo's with fans and a quick chat outside by the bus; as long as they don't have to rush off to catch a plane or something. Try getting to the venue before soundcheck time...You'll probably catch them going back and forth from their tourbus (or van!) Dan's probably your likeliest bet for a good chat pre-gig 'cos JC and Danko often have work to do ( JC manages the band and Danko might be tour-blogging.) If they're headlining a small club somewhere they're not that well known, or have a small cult following, and the venue stays open for drinking after the gigs finished....that's the best! The guys will usually come out of their dressing room 20 mins or so afterwards and say hello to any fans that have stuck around ! ;D

Esther... I know the guys are pretty big these days in Germany, the Netherlands and Scandinavia. There must be a lot of fans waiting around for photo's etc. Do you get a chance to chat to them at gigs these days? I know you probably have more chance than a lot of the newer fans 'cos the guys probably know you quite well by now. What are the meet and greets like over there? Are they chaos? ;D

Hey bronwen, Euhm, I never saw a chaos or something. Most of the time you have to wait half an hour, and many fans went home at that time (people have to catch a train ore something). I've had the chance to chat with him, and with JC (maybe more), I think they recognize me now. I thought I put some pictures of meet and greets here, but I can't find them anymore. So, again some pictures: "That's Live radio 3FM" 2005? "That's Live radio 3FM" 2005? Pinkpop 2006? Pukkelpop 2008 Pukkelpop 2008 Pukkelpop 2008 The pictures are not very charming, but it's nice to have them!
