On tour to celebrate their latest album ‘Enough of the sweet talk’, one of Australia’s biggest bands ‘Lime Cordiale’ delivered an unforgettable performance at VEGA in Copenhagen.
Creating a vibrant atmosphere, the indie pop-rock duo - brothers Oli and Louis Leimbach- lit up the stage from the moment they stepped out.
The venue’s intimate setting allowed for a close connection between the band and their fans (one of the reasons I often prefer a smaller venue) and their interaction with the audience was something that stood out most.
They took moments to chat between songs, cracking jokes and sharing stories, effortlessly making it feel personal and authentic. Their playful energy was contagious and the crowd responded with equal enthusiasm, singing and dancing to every track.
Beginning the same as their new album with ‘Pedestal’, we were instantly immersed with their signature mix genre sounds.
The rest of the setlist was a seamless blend of their best-known hits such as ‘Temper Temper’ and ‘Robbery’ and songs from the latest album like ‘Strangers’ and ‘When I’m Losing It’, as well as ensuring the perfect balance of both upbeat tunes and introspective ballads.
Lime Cordiale’s unique songwriting combines humour and satire with sincerity and thought provoking subjects, often addressing themes such as toxic relationships, self-deprecation and existential confusion in a way that makes it relatable to listeners.
VEGA’s sound system satisfied the band’s dynamic arrangements as they incorporated a range of instruments, including a clarinet played by Oli and a trombone and even a kazoo from Louis, which elevated the performance further.
Vocally, the duo’s harmonies radiated perfectly through every song. As my first time seeing them live, I was impressed with how their voices sounded exactly as when listening to the recordings.
At the end of the show, younger brother Louis reappeared to shake hands of the fans in the front two rows (myself included) - a nice touch to express his gratitude.
Overall, Lime Cordiale’s performance at VEGA was an engaging, feel-good experience that left a lasting impression on the crowd and I personally left buzzing from the infectious energy.
Admittedly, I have almost solely been listening to their music since the show back in September - a testament to their impact - and am eager for the opportunity to see them live again.
