Live Review: WATCH: Loon Lake ‘Cherry Lips’ + Tour Dates

Loon Lakes release the new video for their track 'Cherry Lips', just before they head out on tour.

When this first popped up on my radar, I genuinely hoped that it was going to be a Garbage cover. Can you imagine how sick it would be to hear Melbourne boys LOON LAKE mimic Shirley Manson’s saccharine purr, which came in at #11 in 2001’s Triple J Hottest 100?

Happily for everyone who isn’t me (and has better taste than I do), this was not a Garbage cover, but a head nod-inducing, foot-tapping jam full of swagger which fellow PURPLE SNEAKERS writer Emmica rightly described as irresistible.

LOON LAKE have finally released the video for this track and already there’s buzz about how high up this track will place in this year’s Triple J countdown (aka "The Great Barometer of All Things Cool"). It’s a candy confection of cute girls and helium balloons. Plus, there’s some pretty sweet moves being busted on the Colorama d-floor.

If you, like me, would like to put some cherry on your lips and shake your sexy hips to a live rendition of LOON LAKE’s infectious sounds, look below for some tour dates. Please be advised that you are morally and socially obligated to get your boogie on if you attend the show at Alhambra on the 17^th of August – and I will be policing the crowd to make sure no one’s being that one dude/dude-ette who won’t get down.
