BIOGRAPHY

The Rondelles are an indie-pop band originally from Albuquerque, New Mexico. The band, which formed in the late 1990s, when the three members were still in high school, consisted of Juliet Swango on guitar and vocals, Yukiko Moynihan on bass, and Oakley Munson on drums and keyboard. At live shows Oakley was known to play a 3-piece drum set standing up while hitting the keyboard with his drum stick.

In Albuquerque, the Rondelles were part of a small cadre of indiepop bands that often played together. Among these other bands were The Shins (and Shins precursor Flake Music), Scared of Chaka, The Drags, The Alarm Clocks, The Young Adults, and The Ponies.

The three members of the Rondelles were also three-quarters of the final lineup of the Albuquerque sci-fi-themed pop-punk act, LuxoChamp, behind singer-guitarist Brad Beshaw. Oakley played a full drum kit in LuxoChamp, and Juliet played a Moog and a Realistic keyboard.

The band later moved to Washington, D.C., where they continued to perform and record nationally until late summer of 2001, when they disbanded after a European tour. They recorded their second and final album, The Fox (Teen Beat), in 2000 with producer Trevor Kampmann (holnd) in an apartment recording studio the Logan Circle neighborhood of D.C. A 4-week summer tour with Estrus Records NYC garage rockers The Mooney Suzuki (supporting their People Get Ready album) followed the release of The Fox. The band's final tour in the summer of 2001 hit Holland, Germany, Austria, Italy, and France; final European tour lineup included guitarist Corey Shane and bassist Darian Zahedi, after Yukiko's departure in 2000.
