\"\"<\/a>This year marks the twentieth anniversary of the birth of The Von Bondies, a key band in the American garage-rock movement that spread its way across the globe in the early 2000s. Formed in Detroit by singer\/guitarist Jason Stollsteimer during an aborted stint at university, he rooted the band\u2019s sound in the youthful energy of punk and the emotional rawness of the blues. \u201cIf somehow it had been possible for Jason and me to have had a baby instead of a band when we first started out,\u201d says Donny Blum, longtime drummer of the band, \u201cthat baby would now legally be able to drink.\u201d<\/p>\n

In celebration, the Von Bondies are getting together to play a string of dates in the UK this summer, their first shows in a decade. \u201cWe\u2019re doing the UK first because England was the first country that really embraced us,\u201d says Stollsteimer. Indeed, those early UK shows would lead to dozens of festival slots\u2014playing Glastonbury as well as Reading and Leeds Festival two separate years\u2014in addition to appearances on Later with Jools Holland and a couple of Peel Sessions at the BBC. The band\u2019s major-label debut ‘Pawn Shoppe Heart’ spawned the single ‘C\u2019mon C\u2019mon’, a ubiquitous part of the soundtrack to young Britons\u2019 rowdy Saturday nights out.<\/p><\/div>\n

\nThis summer\u2019s eight-show tour will take the band around the UK from Birmingham to Brighton, including stops in London and Glasgow. \u201cI think it\u2019s a great time to do this,\u201d says Blum. \u201cWe\u2019ve always known that at some point we were going to do more shows. Especially with the world on fire the way it is now, we want to do it before it all burns down\u201d.<\/div>\n
