There’s a lot of Von Bondies going around these days since they’ve hit pretty much every blog or publication you can name (which is most impressive since they are doing the same amount of press this time around without the backing of a major record label.) Most of the press says pretty much the same stuff, but I found this recent live, acoustic performance by the Von Bondies at Rolling Stone Magazine’s studios to be among the best.

Nothing “most impressive” about it. They’re still paying to be handled by MSO, one of the biggest entertainment publicity firms in the U.S.

good point, I guess my point was “who really needs a label anymore if the band can hire and do it themselves?”

I think it’s even more impressive that Don and Jason were smart enough to hire a PR company themselves.
especially one that does David Bowie and Aerosmith.

Thats cool and all, maybe you should change the website name too Motor City Von Bondies Rocks though .

Last year at this time we were witting a lot about the Dirtbombs’ new album and tour – we go with the flow yo!

Well at least the von bondies are making news to write about.
Every other major publication in the US is writing about them it would be silly for local press to not write about them right now too.

you would think, you would expect, but this is Detroit. rag twins RD&MT try to maintain a pulse, though.

Yeah, where’s the Freep, who’s supposed to be coveting that “young internet crowd?”
