8: The Von Bondies - C'mon C'mon magic, UK breakthrough, women who rock, and the comeback

<div>US band <strong>The Von Bondies </strong>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. <br> <br> Lead singer Jason Stollsteimer talks <strong>The Boys in the Band podcast</strong> through C'mon C'mon's unlikely creation - and why it almost didn't feature on album Pawn Shoppe Heart. <br> <br> 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. <br> <br> 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. <br> <br> <strong>The</strong> <strong>Von Bondies fan?
