The original line-up formed at the 1997 Cramps/Guitar Wolf show by Stollsteimer and Marcie Bolen. They went through a variety of names, including The Baby Killers. They also had many member changes before settling on the band name The Von Bondies in 2000. Blum joined the band around 1999 after attending numerous Baby Killers shows, while Leann Banks was picked via an audition. The Von Bondies got their break by playing a New Years Eve show in Detroit, Michigan in 2000.

The Von Bondies released Raw and Rare, a live album, through Dimmak Records in 2003. They released Pawn Shoppe Heart through Sire Records in February 2004 to positive reviews.

Which is why hearing about the Gibb family’s pain surrounding Robin is so difficult to handle.
