The Von Bondies are an American rock band formed in 1997. The band's breakthrough album, Pawn Shoppe Heart, was released in 2004 and features the singles "C'mon C'mon" and "Tell Me What You See".

The Von Bondies have headlined tours of the United Kingdom/Europe, Australia, and the United States, taking along supporting bands like The Kills, Kasabian, Franz Ferdinand, Modey Lemon, SSM, The Subways, The Stills, Hot Panda and The Donnas.[1] They have also appeared on Late Show with David Letterman, Last Call with Carson Daly and CD:UK.[2]

The group disbanded in July 2011.[3] They reformed in 2020 and planned a reunion tour,[4] but those plans had to be abandoned due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The band's members have since become involved in other musical projects.[5][6][7]
