What’s new with Lime Cordiale?
Lime Cordiale are gearing up for their biggest Australian Tour to finish off their biggest year so far.
Tickets Here

Bio
Hailing from Sydney’s northern beaches, brothers Oli and Louis Leimbach of Lime Cordiale command legions of dedicated fans with their incredible live set. They say there’s an innate bond between siblings, a relationship is forged that can last a lifetime. Now, take that intuitive understanding and translate it into music; magic can happen. This is exactly the case for the brothers of Lime Cordiale, whom growing up within a creative, musical family on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, it was natural for the pair to make music together.

Lime Cordiale express their feelings that people need to break the rules in order to progress, with Oli stating “you don't have to take the conservative route. You don't need to necessarily plan out your life in your twenties or thirties”. With the brothers compassionate and progressive awareness, the band are focused on using their love of music to keep Sydney’s music scene alive, along with the support from their surrounding communities and the Australian community as a whole.

It’s no surprise that the pair are passionate, and overly sensitive to the effect humans have on Australia’s environment after being raised on an island home and in coastal areas while growing up. The band’s vegan lifestyle and plastic free rider may not be to everyone’s tastes, but their response is simply - “fuck ‘em”.

In addition to the hectic schedule and life-band balance, Louis is an avid artist holding regular showcases, but notes that whether he is cutting lino or painting, this side of his life is kept secluded, “Lino cutting is a very time-consuming art form, requires a lot of attention and I find myself doing it alone” says Louis. His art form though does cross over to band-life, with Louis designing all album art, posters and merchandise and states that the creative process can take time to think up ideas and sometimes his work can get so out of control he has to go into hiding, but he calls it “meditative and an escape” and likes the process itself over the end result.

When they aren’t busy playing shows, cutting footage for films or designing some form of artwork, Oli and Louis return to their roots, the ocean. Though they love being close to the CBD, sometimes the inner-city pressure means they need to get back to the freedom that the ocean can give, Oli tells “you can be working in the dirt and grind of the city just behind you, but out there on the waves the world is yours”.

Lime Cordiale received no airplay from triple j, FBI or commercial radio with the release of their debut album “Permanent Vacation” in Oct 2017, but this essentially underground band was in no need of the tastemaker radios support. Lime Cordiale were happy touring Australia, brewing a strong following along the way. With the release of their single “Dirt Cheap” (Nov – 18) the band exploded to the charts of triple j, then after only 3 short months the single placed #86 on triple j’s infamous Hottest 100 countdown.

In Feb 2019, Lime Cordiale released their latest single “Money” to accompany their fast selling tour of the same name. The extensive run of shows includes Melbourne, New Zealand and Sydney, and will continue in April to Tasmania, Adelaide, Western Australia and regional New South Wales. So far selling out every show (bar one) they’ve performed (14/20 sold out) and over 5300+ tickets sold. Meanwhile the single was succeeding by its own right, featuring on Spotify’s New Music Friday, iTunes’ Best of the Week and by week 2 was #1 most played on triple j.

The road ahead looks bright and busy for Sydney based band Lime Cordiale, with a new album just over the horizon and a long-awaited European tour set to unite their international audiences.

TheMusic.com.au (AUS) - Bluesfest 2014 Highlight
“Fronted by brothers Oli and Louis Limebach, Lime Cordiale were too much fun. [The band] have built themselves a fresh sound and a growing audience, and with Chugg Music launching in North America this year international success could be within grasp.”

Sydney Morning Herald (AUS)
"Where [Lime Cordiale] stand out though, among a sea of carefree, upbeat pop bands, is in their ability to write some of the most memorable and melodic hooks this side of Abbey Road. Beach Boys, eat your heart out.”

The Music (AUS)
"I am immediately, and somewhat surprisingly, taken by these tunes. One of the finds of Bigsound week I'd say - keep your eyes peeled, this is good stuff."

A Music Blog, Yea? (CAN)
“There is a certain magic in the way this band utilises their instruments, and if you listen carefully, you’ll realise that it’s quite simple: this band hides nothing behind their sound. Their lyrics are honest and their vocals pure in execution.”

The Brag (AUS)
"Lime Cordiale provoked bellowing applause as they left the stage, the kind of applause that makes your plastic cup of poison vibrate gleefully."

Bio

Kourawhero Hall sits hidden in the shadow of the Kaipara Flats and Dome Forest, tucked off an ambling string of wineries and scenic reserves winding up from Auckland City. Five years ago, Dave Baxter, a frustrated player-for-hire took to the wild, bedding down in the building to record what would become Our New Life Above the Ground.

The rest is neo-folklore. The album, with its ready-for-summer anthem Love, Love, Love propelled Baxter’s musical moniker Avalanche City into radio mainstay. While he spent two years travelling the world, Love, Love, Love was being awarded Song of the Year, the prestigious Silver Scroll Award 2011, Most Performed Work back home and 2 x Platinum sales in New Zealand.

Now, on the eve of his anticipated sophomore release, Baxter is pining for the wild places again.

“We Are For The Wild Places is about where we come alive, that spot in the middle of fear and uncertainty, determination and courage. It’s the moment when we struggle and we can see our own failure just behind us but we push on.” Explains the songwriter, “I think a lot of fulfillment in my life has come from overcoming obstacles and achieving things I wasn't sure I could. The wild places are where adventure happens.”

“I’ve spent a lot of time traveling and I’ve spent a lot of time at home writing music and I feel like I’ve gotten to know myself a lot better for it.” Says Baxter, “When life is fast paced and you’re constantly in motion with a million things to do you don’t have the time to examine yourself. I’ve been pretty lucky because I had an intensely busy year or two and then an extended period of stillness that was great for just figuring out what I wanted to do. And it just confirmed that music for me is about having fun, it’s about experimenting and challenging myself.”

The songwriter spent unhurried months in his home studio, a leafy backyard room affectionately named The Treehouse. He surrounded himself with a cadre of old instruments and invented the familiar, yet evolved songs that would become We Are For The Wild Places. 

Lead single ‘Inside Out’ is a plaintive ode to a friend’s broken relationship that builds from arpeggio guitars and ghostly atmospheres to orchestral brass motifs. Baxter inserts himself into heartbreak dialogue: “This is inside out, I want you here, but all we have is gone.” It was the final track to be included on the record – Baxter wrote it while the album was being finalised, holding up the final production in order to include it. ‘Inside out’ is certified platinum in New Zealand, #1 on NZ single charts and #1 at radio in New Zealand for 5 consecutive weeks. The single also won Best Music Video at the 2016 NZ Music Awards.

We Are For The Wild Places peaked at #3 on the NZ album charts and #1 on Itunes.

Avalanche City returned to the fold in late 2018 with the single ‘Prayed For Love’ - a catchy tune with rolling drums, 80s synths and building brass fanfares, which has been blasted on New Zealand radio over summer, and is currently top 40 at radio.

He followed it up with the track, ‘My Babylon’. The song lends its name to the album, which was written after a tumultuous few years that saw Baxter embroiled in a lengthy legal battle with his previous manager. Baxter then took a year out from writing his own material, before returning to the studio to work on the record number three.

My Babylon debuted at #5 of the NZ iTunes album charts, and Dave followed it up with a sold-out tour across New Zealand. Dave is now travelling across Europe, performing intimate gigs in Belgium Germany and the UK. He performing Parlour shows in Europe, where YOU can host a intimate show in your home, office or arts space. More information here: www.parlour.tours/avalanchecity

New Single ‘Nice To Meet Ya!’ - Stream

The Griswolds’ first bio simply read: “The chameleons of pop.” That description holds true for the Sydney indie pop group, formed almost three years ago by singer/guitarist Christopher Whitehall and lead guitarist Daniel Duque-Perez, as they look to become a globally known act.

Recorded under the guidance of legendary American producer Tony Hoffer (The Kooks, Beck, M83, Ladyhawke), ‘BE IMPRESSIVE’ is the band’s debut full-length album. Featuring breakout single ‘Beware The Dog’ (Top 40 US Alternative Radio / triple j high-rotation / #28 triple j's Hottest 100 2014), the album has received a global release via Chugg Music (AU / NZ) and Wind-Up Records (Worldwide) in August 2014.

Forming in 2012, The Griswolds leapt to a roaring start after being handpicked as a triple j Unearthed feature artist, and winners of the Parklife Unearthed competition.  Praise from over 100 blogs around the globe followed quickly – all simply by posting their debut single ‘Mississippi’ online. Second single, ‘Heart of a Lion’, was immediately added to high rotation in Australia on triple j radio, ending 2012 as one of the station’s most played tracks of the year. The international airwaves were quick to take notice, with ‘Heart of a Lion’ attracting airplay in over 20 countries worldwide, achieving #3 on the radio airplay charts in The Netherlands via tastemaker station 3FM and an iTunes Single of the Week in the region.

The Griswolds’ Heart of a Lion EP was released into the USA in 2013 via Wind-Up Records.  Stateside, the EP release had critics and fans buzzing, with a number of noteworthy features from sites including CMJ, MTV Buzzworthy, Neon Gold, Paper Magazine and Vice Noisey.

The Griswolds continued to take worldwide audiences by storm with acclaimed shows at MUSEXPO, NARM, Brooklyn Bowl, The Viper Room, Mercury Lounge and a sold-out Neon Gold popshop in NYC, along with key international festival performances at CMJ Festival in New York, The Great Escape festival in the United Kingdom, and a headline slot at the London Calling festival in Amsterdam. 

In early 2015, international success continued to build as The Griswolds were announced as main support for Walk The Moon’s ‘Talking Is Hard’ tour in North America.  The 45+ day tour sowed increasing levels of global demand that could only be met with their long awaited return to Europe and the United Kingdom. The Griswolds left no stone unturned, performing at major European and UK festivals like Liverpool Sound City, Dot To Dot Festival and London Calling alongside a string of full capacity headline shows at Club Koko and The Stillery.

In addition to the recent run with Walk the Moon, The Griswolds have confirmed their very own U.S. headline tour this June and July. The 'Excellent Adventure' tour includes stops at New York’s Bowery Ballroom and Los Angeles’ Troubadour as well as a performance at Firefly Music Festival. Tickets are in high demand, with Chicago, Minneapolis, Kansas City and Los Angeles completely sold out.

New Single ‘A Little More’ - Pre-Save

Golden Guitar Finalist Casey Barnes is making a monumental impression on the Australian country music scene.  He’s had hits in Europe, recorded and toured in America, appeared in a top-rating TV show in Australia and performed alongside many international stars including Mariah Carey, Lady Antebellum and Bryan Adams.

Casey’s album’s title track “Live As One” became the first single, a heartfelt song with an even more powerful music video, featuring well-known Australians along with national and international sporting identities holding up #LiveAsOne signs.  Other tracks on the album include hit single ‘Just Like Magic’, co-written with powerhouse songwriting team Michael Paynter and Michael Delorenzis for what became a modern country smash.  Upon the album’s release it immediately shot up the ARIA charts landing at #9.

In June 2017, Casey released his next single ‘The Way We Ride’. This gutsy high-octane track with an anthemic feel maintained Top 10 status on various Country Charts including the #1 position on the Country Tracks Top 40 Charts for 4 weeks. This was also the single that saw Casey nominated for his first Golden Guitar Award. The track went on to catch the attention of PBR Australia (professional bull riding) which saw Casey performing at their national events across two years.

‘Keep Me Coming Back’ kept the success continuing.  Catchy and upbeat, the song, debuted at #4 on the Country iTunes Charts and rocketed to #1 on the Australian Country Tracks Top 40 Charts.  The single also made its presence felt in North America when it made the Top 10 on the iTunes ‘Hot Tracks’ country charts. 
Creatively Casey is now in the best place he’s ever been. Constantly pushing the boundaries delivering dynamic country/rock songs that embrace a feel-good element.

Lead single and the uplifting feel-good party track, ‘Ain’t Coming Home’ from the new album ‘The Good Life’ enjoyed two consecutive weeks at #1 on the Country Tracks Top 40 Chart.

Casey’s current album ‘The Good Life’ got off to a tremendous start debuting at #1 on the iTunes Country Chart and an equally impressive #2 on the ARIA Country Charts, proving that Casey is a force to be reckoned with on the country music scene.  The album carved a path of contemporary country, delivering toe tapping songs that have turned into favourite anthems.

Success didn’t stop there, with the album spawning two more successful singles ‘Be Mine’ (which has amassed over 1 million Spotify streams) and the beautiful heart-warming ballad ‘Set Sail’. 

The last 5 years have seen many achievements for Casey with shows in New York, Nashville and Los Angeles. He’s performed at major festivals around Australia including main stage premier events such as Caloundra Music Festival, Groundwater Country Music Festival, Tamworth Country Music Festival, Gympie Muster and the very popular 'A Day On The Green' (with Mariah Carey). A career defining highlight was performing at CMC ROCKS 2018. Known as Australia’s largest International Country Music Festival, Casey shared the stage with the likes of Luke Bryan, Kelsea Ballerini, Darius Rucker, Brothers Osborne, Dan + Shay, Brett Young and many more.

A seasoned television performer, Casey has performed on such shows as Sunrise, The Morning Show, Foxtel’s AFL 360, and the annual Channel Seven Telethon in Perth.

In 2019, Casey continues his association with PBR, this time internationally with performances locked in as part of the USA major event ‘Unleash The Beast Tour’. This amazing opportunity saw Casey performing at arena events in Kansas City, Missouri and two events in Sioux Falls, South Dakota in the first quarter of this year. Casey is also set to return to Nashville and Los Angeles to continue writing and recording his fourth studio album that will also contain new songs from Michael Paynter and Michael DeLorenzis keeping that magic formula going.

Casey’s latest single, ‘Better Days’, from the current album ‘The Good Life’ is a positive song about living in the moment and relishing every day, something that Casey is certainly doing to his fullest potential.
