8: The Von Bondies - C'mon C'mon magic, UK breakthrough, women who rock, and the comeback - a podcast by The Boys in the Band Podcast

US band The Von Bondies scored a huge hit with C'mon C'mon in 2004 and became indie fan favourites in the UK on the back of its success. But that iconic tune of the era has a fascinating back story.



Lead singer Jason Stollsteimer talks The Boys in the Band podcast through C'mon C'mon's unlikely creation - and why it almost didn't feature on album Pawn Shoppe Heart.



He also tells us the story of the band, from their Detroit beginnings and Jack White-produced debut through all three albums to their recent comeback.



Plus, guitar player Christy Hunt and bass player Leann Banks reflect on joining the band during its ascendancy, their impressions of the UK rock scene - and their experiences as girls in a band.
