Lime Cordiale’s infectious performances and genuine interactions with their fans has made them one of Australia’s buzziest bands. It’s a fact that was reflected in July when they scored their first #1 album on the ARIA Charts with 14 Steps to a Better You.

In a watershed moment last year, Lime Cordiale chalked up an incredible eight ARIA Award nominations, making them the most nominated act of 2020 and landing them their debut ARIA Award for Best Breakthrough Artist. Soon afterward, in January’s triple j Hottest 100 countdown, the band scored an unprecedented five tracks in the top 26, their highest-ranking song ‘On Our Own’ claiming 11th position.

The band’s live performance is the stuff of legend. Their shows have been touted as “raucous” by The AU Review, and “triumphant… a therapeutic musical extravaganza guaranteed to cure those post lockdown hangovers” by Beat. 

  In 2020, Lime Cordiale’s hit singles ‘Robbery’ and ‘Temper Temper’ gained Platinum accreditation, and over the past eighteen months, the band has accrued an additional 7 x Gold singles. With 1.5 million monthly listeners and upwards of 240 million streams on Spotify, over 20 million Apple Music streams, and YouTube views exceeding 13 million, the band is on a fast rise. They’ve supported Tones & I across North America and have played more than 100 shows across the globe in the 18 months, including 27 sold-out performances on their recent Speakeasy tour, earning a fierce reputation for one of the most talked-about live shows in the country.  

Heavy touring is something the brothers have always found more energizing than exhausting. Especially when they return to obscure European towns and find that their fans have brought their mates, and mates of mates to their shows -- and everyone in the house is singing along. “When you release a song, you don't realise that people know it until you play a show and people are singing that song back to you,” says Oli. “That’s pretty huge, and it’s incredibly rewarding.”
