DANKO JONES Announce Two Album Release Livestream Performances By Larry Petro, News Monkey Friday, July 30, 2021 @ 11:03 AM
Along with the livestream show announcements, the band has also released a new song and video today for "Start The Show". Watch it BELOW!
Featuring Phil Campbell (MOTORHEAD) and ironically the last song on Power Trio, "Start The Show" is essentially DANKO JONES' answer to CHEAP TRICK's "Hello There" - i.e., a song tailor-made to be the first song played at a DANKO JONES show. It’s a reaffirmation of everything he was put on this earth to do. But in the wake of this pandemic-plagued year, the song also makes for a surprisingly poignant album closer, because it’s a reminder of all the shows that Danko didn’t get to play this past year, and a reminder of how much we’ve all missed that goosebump-inducing feeling of being in a packed club when the house lights go down, the music playing over the PA cuts out, and your favourite power trio emerges from the darkness to kick into their opening tune. And yet despite this bittersweet subtext, “Start the Show” is brimming with the promise that we will experience that feeling once again—and, after the black cloud of COVID clears, DANKO JONES will be there ready to give it to you.
"Start The Show" follows previously released singles "Saturday" and "I Want Out". Hitting #1 at German Rock Radio and #13 at Canadian Rock Radio, "I Want Out" has seen success with airplay around the globe. The track has also been featured on The Strombo Show, CBC Music, Exclaim! Magazine, Louder Sound, and Bravewords among others. In April the band also released a fan-only track "Flaunt It".
