Duff McKagan’s Loaded & Danko Jones Announce Club Dates

Duff McKagan's Loaded are one of many acts who have lovers of classic heavy rock excited about Soundwave 2013 although, while there are certainly plenty of musical touchstones similar to the work that made McKagan one of the world's most well-loved rock stars as bassist of Guns N' Roses, the music that his latest band are playing is ultimately very fresh indeed.

There's no doubt that he's excited to get back to Australia, a territory that has always been very kind to McKagan, to show off tunes from his latest LP The Taking.

Getting involved with McKagan on the two sneaky sideshows set to happen alongside Soundwave is the inimitable Danko Jones, one of the best hard rock bands Canada has produced in an awful long time and a band that we guarantee you will make you want to party probably a little bit harder than you should.

With a new LP Rock and Roll Is Black and Blue out fairly recently, it's a good time to witness their killer live show.

Catch both acts playing the following two dates, tickets are available from OzTix from Friday 11 January.

Monday 25 February - Manning Bar, Sydney
Thursday 28 February - The Espy, Melbourne
