The Von Bondies got their break by playing a New Year's Eve show in Detroit, Michigan in 2000. In attendance at the show was Long Gone John, owner of the Sympathy for the Record Industry label. This led to Sympathy releasing the band's debut album ''Lack of Communication'' in 2001. In 2003, the band released the live ''Raw and Rare'' through Dim Mak Records, which was followed by their 2004 breakthrough release, ''Pawn Shoppe Heart'', on Sire Records.

MLB Network also uses a brief clip of the song as the opening of their show ''30 Clubs in 30 Days''. In 2008, the band signed with indie label Majordomo Records, joining label mates The Airborne Toxic Event and Earlimart.
