Lime Cordiale

Lime Cordiale is an Australian band formed by brothers Oli and Louis Leimbach. The band’s music is known for their infectious melodies, catchy hooks, and clever lyrics that resonate with fans across the globe. Lime Cordiale has just announced their headline gig in The Academy Dublin on Wednesday 28th August 2024.

Their formal music training and prodigious talent allow them to mix various genres such as indie pop, rock, funk, and reggae into a unique style that has gained a significant following in Australia and has also garnered attention internationally.

The Leimbach brothers grew up in Sydney, Australia, and were influenced by their musical family background. They began writing and performing music together in their teenage years, eventually forming Lime Cordiale in 2009. The band initially started as a duo, with Oli on vocals and Louis on keyboards, but they later expanded their line-up which now includes longtime collaborator, James Jennings (Drums), Felix Bornholdt (Keyboards & Piano), and Nick Polovineo (Trombone and Guitar) supplementing Oli’s guitar and vocals and Louis’ Bass and lead vocals.

In January 2022 Lime Cordiale released Cordi Elba, their acclaimed collaboration with actor/musician/DJ and record label boss Idris Elba. The mini album debuted at #9 on the ARIA album chart and spawned the hit singles Apple Crumble and What’s Not To Like, which landed at #14 and #41 on the triple j hottest 100 respectively. The track ‘Holiday’ on this album was later remixed by the legendary Fatboy Slim. Lime Cordiale has amassed over 350 million streams on Spotify, 29 million Apple Music streams, with YouTube views exceeding 20 million. Their infectious performances and genuine, generous interactions with their fans have made them one of Australia’s most in demand acts, playing to wildly enthusiastic crowds across Australia and overseas.
