Lime Cordiale
The following description comes from the event organizer.
It was while playing a gig in Vienna, Austria that Oli and Louis Leimbach, better known as Lime Cordiale, made eye contact and exchanged the same thought: “What the hell is going on here?!” The duo were on their first headline European tour, not really knowing the size of their fan base over there. “We took a gamble,” says Oli with a shrug.
They certainly weren’t expecting a big crowd in Vienna, but not only did Lime Cordiale sell out the show, when they performed that night, the audience knew all the words to their songs, something that continued to happen throughout their European tour. “When you play a show and strangers are singing your own song back to you, it’s like a massive drug,” Oli says. “You sort of get addicted to that.”
Back at home, audiences provide that drug in spades. Lime Cordiale’s infectious performances and genuine, generous interactions with their fans has made them one of Australia’s buzziest acts over the past couple of years. It’s a fact that was reflected in the Triple J Hottest 100 poll in January when Lime Cordiale was the only act to have four songs under 40 in the triple j’s hottest 100 of 2019 -- a feat that not even Billie Eilish could pull off. It’s been an incredible start to the year for the Sydney duo, but the brothers would be quick to tell you that it’s been a long way to the top.
