Mandi LeBlanc, singer/songwriter from Austin, TX plays indie rock music blended with jazz, pop and country influences with her band LeBlanc. Backed by Dimitri Moderbacher on Bass, Jeremiah Seeley on guitar, and Tim Kuhl on Drums, LeBlanc formed in early 2005 and has played in various venues around the New York City area gaining a local following. Texas born and raised, Mandi moved to New York City in January of 2001 and has been writing music with the influences of Spoon, Weezer, Beck, Ben Kweller, Liz Phair, Rilo Kiley, The Beatles, and Sheryl Crow. Left handed and self taught on guitar, Mandi currently lives in Brooklyn.
"LeBlanc has an alternative indie rock sound. If Weezer and Sheryl Crow ever had a child together, LeBlanc would be it's offspring. With catchy poppy hooks and melodic vocals by lead singer Mandi LeBlanc, this band is one to watch out for! Be sure to check out a live show!" - O'Neil Records.
CD Review of *THIS IS ME* EP:
"Mandi LeBlanc left the comfortable confines of Austin for Brooklyn two years ago, but her blend of riot grrrl and folk rock has River City written all over it. Don't be fooled by opener "Cute Boyfriend" as the fourpiece LeBlanc is more Ani than Liz, and more roots than rock." - Austin Chronicle.
"Texas born Mandi LeBlanc masterminded this group's first EP, which features 6 cuts of indie rock flavored with pop, funk and country tastes. The strongest track is 'Met A Boy', which is pretty much pure smart pop straight out of the late 70's new wave. There is nothing better in this CD, or many CD's I've heard lately, though the title track, with it's sweet, breathy line, "This is me on a rampage / don't fuck with me." that's damned good, too...The band is clearly very strong, trading styles song by song but
maintaining a clear identity...Another issue: the standout song, 'Met A Boy', is pretty near perfect, with lots of hooks in all the right places, and is well worth the price of admission." - Urban Folk.
"The tracks "Be with You" and "Subway Love" are really hot. I would give Mandi a chance, she's got a great sound." - Unsigned Magazine.
