Lion Island - Ill take you down
A beautifully whimsical indie pop song. Love the ukulele, ramshackle vocals and lone trumpet. I feel like I'm part of a big love-in.

   About Lion Island
LION ISLAND is a project based in Brisbane, Australia. Starring two guitars, a mandolin, a ukulele, a bouzouki or two, harmonica, a big old electro-organ, trumpets, bass and double bass, violin, banjo, the good old drums, and nine happy voices, Lion Island have been described as "one of Brisbane's most heart warming bands."

"The layering of instruments creates a wonderful texture, interwoven with beautifully measured vocals, and trumpet, violin and guitar solos."
fasterlouder.com.au


"I was feeling things, hell I was happy...Lion Island seem destined to be a Brisbane live staple and it’s not hard to imagine them on festival stages in the future."

Lion Island are proud to have shared stages with acts such as Tiny Vipers, Little Scout, BigStrongBrute, Mr Rascal, Luluc, Cuthbert & the Nightwalkers, Epithets, McKisko, Mt Augustus, Alex & the Ramps, and many more.

Wait, I don't understand. Are these Lions indigenous to the Island, or were they transported there for some sinister reason? Is it an island, a peninsula, an atoll, or a plateau we're dealing with here? How many Lions are there on the island? What do they eat? Is there enough roaming space for all of them? So many questions!

I WILL NOT STOP UNTIL I GET THE ANSWERS THAT I CRAVE.

Hey there!  Nice to play with you guys today.  Which is weird, right, because I kinda figure that Penguins and Lions would make strange bedfellows.  But hey, they say that opposites attract.  Maybe we should hook up again some time?  Well, you have my number.  But it's not like I'll be waiting by the phone or anything.  You know, I have a life, and various other animals that are interested in me.  Like Modest Mouse.  And I know that's kinda freaky as well, but hey - love knows no boundaries.
