The Von Bondies + Nico Vega February 17, 2009

For THE VON BONDIES, the most important reason to make music isn't a complicated one. "We're here to entertain people so they forget that they have a 9 to 5 job to go to in the morning," says Jason Stollsteimer, the Michigan-based band's singer-songwriter-guitarist. "We love what we do or else we wouldn't do it; it's for us and the fans."

With the February 2009 release of Love, Hate and Then There's You, the Von Bondies' third studio album and their debut for Majordomo Records (a division of Shout! Factory), those fans will experience a band that's come a long way since 2004's smash album Pawn Shoppe Heart. Now in their ninth year together, Stollsteimer and drummer Don Blum, the Von Bondies' other founding member, have taken their music to new places while holding on to the core values they've always exhibited.

Nico Vega represents a modern day saint. A warrior that has led us to a more fulfilling, lighter way of being. She represents people and unity. She fights for all of us and teaches us to fight for each other. She is an idea that has evolved into a message and she fuels us in our bellies. She is the person we are all capable of being, but she holds the bar high above our head so that we must reach to be better human beings.
