THE VON BONDIES INK DEAL WITH MAJORDOMO RECORDS
New Album Slated For February 3, 2009 Release
Los Angeles, CA – The Von Bondies have signed with Majordomo Records, a division of Shout! Factory, it was announced today. The long anticipated new album Love, Hate, and Then There’s You will drop on February 3, 2008.
Produced by Rick Parker (BRMC), Peter Katis (Interpol), Sean O’Keefe (Hawthorne Heights) and Butch Walker (Hot Hot Heat), and written by singer/songwriter/guitarist Jason Stollsteimer, Love, Hate, and Then There’s You is The Von Bondies’ third studio album, and the first since 2004’s critically acclaimed Pawn Shoppe Heart, which became an indie rock essential and featured the hit single “C’mon C’mon.”
"At first we were disappointed cause we thought we were signing to Factory Records, but this label has a lot of fresh ideas, a family vibe, potluck dinners and they statistically employ more Asians" says Don Blum, the band’s drummer of Pan-Asian descent. "We would have signed a lot sooner,” says singer Jason Stollsteimer, “but it took us four years to find a pen."
A limited-edition 7-inch single featuring the song “Pale Bride” and the non-album b-side “Falling In Love” will be released on November 18th. The band will be on tour in the U.S. in fall 2008 and throughout 2009, and the single will be available at their shows and at indie retail stores leading up to the release of the album.
The Von Bondies formed in Detroit in 2000, helping to fuel the burgeoning local indie music scene. The band’s roaring sound and raw emotion played an essential role in the resurgence of garage rock, going on to find critical mainstream success, and influencing many other artists.
