Lime Cordiale

Lime Cordiale formed in Sydney in September 2009 as a duo by the brothers Louis Stanley Leimbach on bass guitar, trumpet, vocals and kazoo and Oliver Jay "Oli" Leimbach on guitar, clarinet and vocals.{{cite web |url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/lime-cordiale-mn0003220727/biography |title= Lime Cordiale |first=Matt |last=Collar |website=AllMusic |date=26 January 2020 }} After spotting the duo at a band competition, Icehouse frontman, Iva Davies offered them a mentoring partnership and they recorded some tracks. In 2011 Lime Cordiale supported Icehouse on their tour. Also in that year the duo released three singles via Bandcamp and played over 60 live shows. By June 2012 they were joined by Brendan Champion on trombone and James Jennings on drums. The group centres around the Leimbach brothers who recognised their mutual love of all things pop and their desire to create original and exciting music.{{cite web |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130425223017/http://imcmusic.net/2012/06/27/lime-cordiale-sydney-ep-launch/ |url=http://imcmusic.net/2012/06/27/lime-cordiale-sydney-ep-launch/ |title=Lime Cordiale Sydney EP Launch |website=IMC Music |access-date=22 February 2022 |archive-date=25 April 2013 |url-status=dead }}
