Another good show at Call The Office last night...First I was impressed with a band called SSM , who opened the show....a 3 peice from Detroit...they were more of dance/punk outfit...but it was good....The vocals coulda been better... Then The Von Bondies ripped threw a very short and loud set.....with Christmas lights...They played some new material, but I wished they had played more..I did enjoy the old stuff, since this was my first time seeing the Bondies... [...]

Detroit rockers, The Von Bondies, have announced that they'll be heading down to SXSW 2008 after a tour in Europe. You may know them best for the Rescue Me theme song. The Von Bondies - C'mon C'mon (courtesy of The Muso )
Right, disclaimers first. Apparently Sasha Frere-Jones is a respected music critic, so presumably this implies that he is not this bone-headed all the time. Also, given I've only read one of his articles I am in no position to judge his general output, but his recent excretion ' A Paler Shade of White ' is just bloody thick. He manages to shoehorn needless racist divisiveness, outdated stereotyping and a truly impressive ignorance of indie music into one article which is about... yes, the racial compartmentalisation of popular music. Generally when people write nonsense like this [...]
It's been an utterly dismal year for highly anticipated records by the big groups in 2007, but fortunately the slack has been taken up by loads of smaller acts bringing new things to the table. Except for one thing. A really big, angry pair of rock 'n' roll bollocks. I got accused, when talking about gratingly [...]
The Von Bondies are ending their three-year break with their forthcoming record, Love, Hate and Then There's You . Guitarist Marcie Bolen, bassist Carrie Smith and Yasmine Smith have all been replaced with Don Blum, Alicia Gbur, Leann Banks and Matt Lannoo to follow up 2004's Pawn Shoppe Heart . In the years since we've last heard from the Von Bondies, Stollsteimer split up with his wife and formed another project, Hounds Below . The new album is expected to be released in early [...]
Arbitrary power is like most other things which are very hard, very liable to be broken. - Abigail Adams It's easy to be led astray when you're so broken. People take advantage of you. - Willie Aames Truth may be stretched, but cannot be broken, and always gets above falsehood, as does oil above water. - Miguel de Cervantes The world breaks everyone and afterward many are stronger at the broken places. - Ernest Hemingway Better [...]
Christ almighty you lot are a bloody merciless bunch. It's easy to be Mr Bounteous Blogger of Beneficience when there are lovely tunes to share and we can all hold hands and love one another and be one big happy internetty family. But the second there's some hard work to be done, a bit of graft to be put into the relationship you shower of fuckers are nowhere to be seen. So who gets stuck with the mp3 blog equivalent of changing the shitty nappies, doing the washing up, making the kids their packed lunches, sucking off [...]
After all this mellifluvium - yes, I know, but it's my word and I'm sticking to it - I thought I'd cut loose and produce some more raucous, feel-good music in advance of the weekend. We have a couple of beers with our lunch here on Fridays and it always nudges me into the weekend in the best possible mood, so why not share the joy around the information super-cul-de-sac, I thought. So, the story of my life in seven songs. Why seven? Why not, ten seemed a lot and five a little few, so [...]
Mr Toad is a little tipsy and Mr Toad is off on the lash. I am going to the Tron, which is a really crap pub in the centre of Edinburgh owned by the utterly abysmal 'Scream' chain. I am going for a good reason however, and that is to see The Red Well and Viva Stereo and a couple of other groups I don't know called Come in Tokyo , who aren't from Tokyo, and Starless & Bible Black who are from Manchester. When I am in a [...]
