The Von Bondies map dates behind album release
Indie-rockers The Von Bondies have announced the first round of support dates behind the band's latest forthcoming new studio LP, which is due for a February release.
The Detroit-based act shows only seven dates on its current schedule, leading with a Feb. 13 show in Toronto, but expects to add more cities to the list early next year. Other stops on the current slate include Montreal, New York City and Philadelphia. Dates are included below.
The group, which has gone through several par-for-the-course lineup changes over the last few years, returns with frontman Jason Stollsteimer, longtime drummer Don Blum, bassist Leann Banks and guitarist Christy Hunt for "Love, Hate and Then There's You," the Bondies' third studio album and first since 2004's "Pawn Shoppe Heart."
"When we got off of touring 'Pawn Shoppe Heart,' we were so exhausted," Stollsteimer told Billboard.com recently. "In my own head, I was like, 'I don't want to ever do it again.' But these three years have revived my energy to do it again.
The new album, which will be released Feb. 3 on the Majordomo label, sports production from Butch Walker (Hot Hot Heat, The Donnas) and Rick Parker (Black Rebel Motorcycle Club). A limited-edition 7-inch single of "Pale Bride" backed by the non-album track "Falling In Love" is currently in stores.
