Danko Jones may be a straight-forward rock band, but their story is anything but. Theyre a band that has roots in many different music communities the North American indie-rock scene, the Scandinavian garage-rock scene, the European metal scene but belong to none of them. Theyre the only band thats toured with both Blonde Redhead and Nickelback, and theyre the only band whose biography could attract a cast of characters that includes Lemmy Kilmister of Motrhead, Elijah Wood, Ralph Macchio, Peaches, Dizzy Reed of Guns N Roses, Damian Abraham of Fucked Up, Jello Biafra of the Dead Kennedys, George Stroumboulopoulous, Alan Cross, Mike Watt, and many others. Too Much Trouble is about more than just Danko Jones history its an exploration of the rigid politics that govern both underground and mainstream music, and how a band can succeed without pandering to either.
