This Alternative-Rock band emerged from the Detroit, Michigan USA, underground
garage scene in 2000 when four young musicians, vocalist + guitarist Jason
Stollsteimer, guitarist Marcie Bolen, bassist Carrie Smith and drummer
Donny Blum, decided to make music together.
In August 2001, with a year of steady gigging behind them, The Von Bondies
released their full-length debut disc, "Lack Of Communication",
produced by their compatriot Jack White of The
White Stripes; the band then embarked on its first European tour with
The Whites.
Two years later the foursome issued "Raw And Rare", a collection
of live BBC recordings as well as two tracks specially recorded for this
release.
The Von Bondies' debut for Sire Records, "Pawn Shoppe Heart",
was released in February 2004; the group's second studio album managed
to scrape into The Billboard 200 and hit #8 on Billboard's Top Heatseekers
chart while the lead single, "C'mon C'mon", worked its way into
the top 30 of The Modern Rock chart.
Following the album's release a flurry of personnel changes ensued, with
Smith replaced by bass player Yasmine Smith and then Leann Banks; two
years later Bolen also left the band, Christy Hunt stepped in as the rhythm
guitarist and the group eventually signed with Majordomo Records.
The long anticipated new album "Love, Hate, And Then There's You"
will drop on February 3, 2009. It includes the single "Pale Bride".
