Yet another one of my favourite bands.. gotta spread the word.

Whose heard of this one? You may have heard of them from the little spat that Jack White and Jason Stollsteimer (lead singer/guitarist of VBs) got into. Jack beat the shit out of Jason.. but before that they were pals and Jack helped get the word out about the VBs. They're from Detroit and just came out with a new album: Pawn Shoppe Heart. Definitely check them out if you haven't already.:D

Love 'em! But I like Lack of Communication more than Pawn Shoppe Heart.

I had a chance to see them a few weeks ago at this *tiny* club in San Francisco, but it didn't start till almost midnight and I had my last day of finals the next day!

It's funny because I always avoided listening to them because of the whole Jack White fiasco (lame, I know, but I am a candy cane child! :P). Then when I finally listened to them, I fell in love! :D

I like them, need to learn more about them however.
good stuff ...

I'm glad you decided to give them a listen, avw! Lack of Communication is also very awesome.

Marcie Bolen used to be in this kick ass band before the Von Bondies, called Slumber Party. If you're into 60's psychadelic Velvet Underground-esque music, you'd like this. It's 4 girls from Detroit jammin it 60s style. Definitely worth a listen-to. www.slumberpartydetroit.com

yeah... they are very good... and i like lack of communication and cmon cmon the best!

They're coming to Austin in November! They were supposed to come to Dallas but plans changed I suppose. I would go up there, but it's on a Thursday and Austin is a 3 hour drive from here. I have school the next day, so I don't know if my mom will let me go. However, it's my best friend's birthday and her cousin just recently moved to Austin so it would also be a little birthday trip to visit her cousin. Maybe she'll let me go.

i would beg on my hands an knees, and if that didnt work, their's always torture!

I've been talking my parents into it the past two days, remember it's not happening for another 2 months, and they have both said "I'll think about it." With them, that usually turns into a yes. I'm sure I'll have no problem getting them to let me go in these 2 months. Their biggest problem with it isn't me skipping school, but driving there with Kayla. She's not the best driver...

I really like the Von Bondies. Been Swank is probably my favey song off Pawn Shoppe Heart. Sadly enough I have yet to hear Lack of Communication. I would really like to, though. That whole fight between Jason Stollsteimer and Jack White kind of makes me like them more than I would have. Just that, from what I've read, he didn't fight back. High five to him.

they are wicked on CD. i prefer the 1st to the second. But i have seen them live twice and was v.dissapointed both times :yawn:

I like the song, not that social, that's a cool song. It's my favourite out of the whole CD.

yeah, great track. the womens vocals are immense

not a big fan, kinda adverage.

I saw them on ... I think it was The Late Show one night, and they actually didn't seem that great live. I'm still really fucking excited to see them though!! Hopefully I won't be dissapointed with them. I hate being in love with a band, and then when I finally see them live they're not that great. That always sucks a fat one.

i think the bassist has left. the one that does the vocals for Not That Social. Carrie, her name is. She has left. Sorry

carrie was the best one!! how come?

dunno. She looked as stiff as a log at Reading. Obviously just got bored

i'd get bored being in a band with jason, he's such an idiot!! :P:P

Where did you hear that Carrie left? The Von Bondies website REALLY sucks at updating their news and no one on the forum ever knows anything... I read something about it, but that she actually left. I don't doubt it, but that would REALLY suck.

It's true. Carrie has now officially left the band. They must have just posted that up on their site yesterday or today cuz I was just there a few days ago and it had nothing about it... That's sad! I never even got to see them perform with her in the band. Maybe they'll find someone with some good stage presence to replace her so they can liven up their live shows and it will be worth my 3 hour drive to see them. I keep hearing that they aren't that great live. It really upsets me.

I saw them when Ima Robot supported them and next to Kasabian they were the worst band there, probably drawing with Kasabian. Ima Robot ruled tho!!!! :D:D:D
The thing is, you'll enjoy it anyway cos you really want to see them, even if their stage show isn't amazing.

Kasabian are, and were, amazing. I love them

seen the Von Bondies twice --had to, the supported the White Stripes in 2001 and played with IMA in May 04- and don´t like `em. i just don´t think they are special. whether in appearance nor for sound. that "common common" song sticks in my head though.

I just find them dull really. sorry!!

"common common"

yeah, definately. Allthough its C'Mon C'Mon. lol :D
