Lime Cordiale formed in the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia in September 2009[4] and consisted of brothers Oliver Leimbach and Louis Leimbach, Brendan Champion and James Jennings. The group came about after they recognised their mutual love of all things pop and their desire to create original and exciting music. They began to perform gigs around Sydney[5]

After spotting them at a band competition, Icehouse frontman, Iva Davies promptly made contact and a mentoring partnership began with Iva and the band heading to the studio to produce some tracks. In 2011 Lime Cordiale supported Icehouse, on their comeback tour of 2011.[5] In 2011, the duo released three singles via Bandcamp and played over 60 live shows.[5]
