ON THEIR ‘LOVE, HATE AND THEN THERE’S YOU’ TOUR
Momentum continues to build for the February 3 release of THE VON BONDIES' third studio album Love, Hate And Then There’s You (Majordomo Records, an imprint of Shout! Factory) with a soon-to-be-announced SXSW appearance and rotation adds at various radio stations such as Q101 in Chicago, CD101 in Columbus and Sirius Alt Nation, as well as a seal of approval from tastemaker Indie 103 in Los Angeles before they were tragically pulled off the air last week (the song can still be heard on the online version of the station). “In this day and age losing a station like Indie 103 hurts everyone,” said frontman and guitarist JASON STOLLSTEIMER.
As excitement about the release 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) as well as 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.
THE VON BONDIES will 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 the first single and video “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 David Peisner in SPIN (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..."
