live shenanigans on this week’s show thanks to Danko Jones and support

superstars. the Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell who kicked off their European

Tour in support of their latest albums “Fire Music” and “Check ‘Em Before You

Wreck ‘Em” respectively at The Oslo in Hackney ten days ago, that was the 18th

March late e-mail and web page openers. The last time I saw the Admiral Sir

Cloudesley Shovell was in 2012, again in support mode, but this time around the

Hastings trio have the aforementioned "Check 'Em"  album to bolster their half hour set. The

band were certainly born at the wrong time with their brand of rock more associated

with the years 1972 - 1975. Sabbath, "On Parole" Motörhead with some

Status Quo old school Boogie but with enough of their own identity to make them

relevant in 2015. Shamefully I haven't seen Danko Jones since they support Motörhead

down in Brighton in 2008. Since then the band have produced a shed load of

albums going through about the same number of drummers in the manor of Spinal

Tap. They were great then and they, thankfully, are still great now. Danko

Jones ARE the band James Hetfield wishes Metallica still was. They have the

hooks, the songs and Danko, the man, is comfortable with the bands audience, so

much so he instigates the crowd to take the piss out of the band for not visiting

London sooner. Both Shovell and Jones fit perfectly together live as you are

just about to hear.........
