They’ve been famous in the United Kingdom for a couple of years, turning up repeatedly in English music magazines such as New Musical Express (NME). The British press, notorious for over-hyping bands in a constant search for the next big thing, caught on to the Von Bondies after the White Stripes’ popularity soared.

You?re walking down Main Street and suddenly a horse-drawn trolley pauses and a half-dozen kids jump off and start dancing as a showtune plays. At the castle several times a day, Cinderella and friends act out a lively tableaux for the edification of those in the plaza below. The cumulative effect, over a couple of days, is to convince the children that they are in another country - on another planet - where, at any given moment, something extraordinary might happen. ?I want...
