Biography

LEO RONDEAU’S Bangs, Bullets and the Turtle Mountains is a collection of songs that show an ability for storytelling that is truly refreshing. The ten song debut album is choc full of love, hate, even prison suicide, all wrapped up in a neat package of jagged tongue-in-cheek phrasing and sweet country melodies.
These songs reflect a young mans upbringing in the sparsely populated state of North Dakota and, as he moves through life, his struggle to assimilate into a world whose only exposure to his home state is the movie “Fargo”. There have been many a fist fight initiated in regards to the use of the word “aye”.
Bangs, Bullets and the Turtle Mountains was produced by Eric McKinney and Rondeau himself after the latter relocated to Austin TX.
