What's On

Hairy Lemon

Hairy Lemon is led by 25-year-old Keith, (guitarist/singer/songwriter), together with Steve Jeffery (bass) and Mike Jeffery (drums). Growing up in a household filled with music, the guys admit a wide range of influences, ranging from bands like The Police and The Beatles, to early Chili Peppers, Sublime, and Foo Fighters.

Their first show was played in September '98 in their home town of Victor Harbor, South Australia. Although initially apprehensive about performing in public, the resounding success of their very first show confirmed what the brothers had long felt:  that they had a natural musical synergy and making music together was their calling.

Since then, Hairy Lemon has worked incessantly - playing more than 500 shows and holding down several residencies in Adelaide – now including the Adelaide Casino!

Almost six years on, after releasing one EP and two independent albums, their relentless commitment is paying off, with impressive record sales and several prestigious awards to their name.

Last year saw the band pick up the award for 'Most Outstanding Emerging Artist' at the SAMI awards and providing support for Aussie legends 'You Am I' and 'Jimmy Barnes'.

Eschewing the easy way out taken by Australia’s ubiquitous cover bands, Hairy Lemon have always aspired to writing and performing their own music, along with the occasional homage admittedly, but that has only endeared them to their huge Adelaide fan base. Their original material has garnered significant critical acclaim and attracted the attention of some of the Australian music industry’s heavy hitters.
