ANNOUNCE ADDITIONAL TOUR DATES
ON THEIR
‘LOVE, HATE AND THEN THERE’S YOU’ TOUR
VIDEO FOR “PALE BRIDE” TO DEBUT ON MYSPACE TOMORROW
—SPIN (February 2009)
As excitement about the album continues to grow, the Michigan-based band has announced they will debut the video for their new single “Pale Bride” via MySpace tomorrow (Friday, January 23) and perform additional dates on their “Love, Hate And Then There’s You” tour. The new round of shows includes stops in Toledo, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles and more.
Look for THE VON BONDIES to be supported by special guests Nico Vega at venues like The Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles, the Doug Fir Lounge in Portland and Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco. The tour now consists of 16 stops across North America where JASON STOLLSTEIMER, drummer DON BLUM, bassist Leann Banks and guitarist Christy Hunt will perform songs from Love, Hate And Then There’s You, which is filled with highlights like “Pale Bride,” “Accidents Will Happen,” and “21st Birthday.” STOLLSTEIMER’s newest batch of songs, as well as BLUM’s co-writes, were penned over the past few years and recorded sporadically during that period. Producers Butch Walker (Hot Hot Heat, The Donnas, All-American Rejects) and Rick Parker (Black Rebel Motorcycle Club) fine-tuned the recordings. A limited edition 7-inch single of "Pale Bride" backed with the non-album "Falling In Love" is in stores now.
What can fans expect to hear? Incoming album reviews include SPIN (David Peisner, February 2009) who wrote, “Over punchy, driving riffs and crackling drum work, Stollsteimer howls like a guy with much to be pissed about, while the sharp production and dark pop hooks offer a vision of garage rock that's more grand than grimy.” Elsewhere, in an early (four-star) review, the online outlet Frantik wrote that: "The album is full of indie-pop rock gems that will definitely set your soul on fire…" (Gian Erguiza, December 23, 2008).

About The Von Bondies:
The roots of The Von Bondies can be traced back to the late ’90s—at one point Jason had a band called the Baby Killers—but things really began in earnest when Blum teamed up with Stollsteimer in 1999. The name Von Bondies was born in 2000, and the first album Lack of Communication came the following year. Raw and Rare, a collection of live BBC recordings, followed in 2003, then Pawn Shoppe Heart. It featured their huge 2004 hit single “C’mon C’mon,” which subsequently took on a second life as the theme to Denis Leary’s highly acclaimed FX TV series “Rescue Me.” The Von Bondies spent 2008 touring in support of their self-released EP We Are Kamikazes, which featured selected tracks from the February 2009 release LOVE, HATE AND THEN THERE’S YOU, their third studio album and debut for Majordomo Records (an imprint of Shout! Factory). A limited edition 7-inch single of "Pale Bride" backed with the non-album "Falling In Love" is in stores now.
