Set to take the stage this month for their long-awaited
east coast tour, alongside performances at
Groovin The Moo, today
Lime Cordiale shares their
new single Facts of Life. To celebrate, the band has announced the
Facts of Life tour in May, taking in
Wollongong, the Sunshine Coast, Kingscliff, Hobart, Adelaide and
Coffs Harbour, before they embark on a
29-date tour of the UK and Europe. Produced by David K Haddad, the latest dose of breezy surf pop is the Leimbach brothers
first new standalone single since 2020. "You can read about the birds and the bees all you want but it won't make a difference to how you feel in the moment. Get kooky and make mistakes because these are the facts of life," says Oli Leimbach of the single.
"The song is about the feelings that surround new experiences. That fresh excitement that surrounds being young and naive, soaked in sexual tension is something to cherish, " adds Louis Leimbach.
The new music follows on from
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.
Lime Cordiale has amassed over
318 million streams on Spotify, 28 million Apple Music streams and
YouTube views exceeding 17 million. Their infectious performances and genuine, generous interactions with their fans has made them one of Australia's most in demand acts, playing to wildly enthusiastic crowds across Australia and overseas.
With James Jennings (drums), Felix Bornholdt (keyboard) and Nick Polovineo (trombone, guitar), rounding out the touring band, their 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. Always high octane, front man Louis is the ultimate showman, as the brother's distinctive vocal and on-stage charisma sets the ultimate party vibe.
