About
Brooklyn indie electro-pop duo CHAIRLIFT are returning to Australian shores this December!
Members Caroline Polachek and Patrick Wimberly first captured the world’s attention with their breakout single ‘Bruises’, which featured a range of uncanny pop sensibilities, mixed with polished production and euphoric vocals. Over time, this sound has become the duo’s signature essence. CHAIRLIFT have gone on to become one of the most distinctive acts of its era, often being compared to icons like MGMT, Chvrches and Grimes.
This wildly talented pair boast a total of three studio albums, each of which fuse styles like electronic, synth pop and indie pop into relentlessly catchy masterpieces, with live shows that reflect this. Their latest offering ‘Moth’ released early this year has caught the attention of listeners the world over, standing as their most emotionally charged and pop-centric album yet.
“Chairlift’s ‘Moth’ is a shape-shifting wonder of an alternative pop album, and it’s one of 2016’s best.” - Billboard
Australian fans have embraced CHAIRLIFT for years, with a string of accredited hits like Bruises, Amanaemonesia, Ch-Ching and Sidewalk Safari, helping to draw in audiences across the country. Their latest album ‘Moth’ is no exception, featuring a collection of mega hits that give off an upbeat synth vibe, and husky vocals that punctuate airwaves from the get go.
“This is a record where love, music and love for music come together beautifully.” - Rolling Stone
These Brooklyn experimentalists have spent that past 12 months performing at star-studded festivals including SXSW, St Jerome’s Laneway Festival and National Sawdust. Their latest single ‘Romeo’ is another superb addition to the couples catalog. Now, hot off the heels of a successful US and UK tour, CHAIRLIFT fans can rejoice as the band announces their highly anticipated return to Australia.
“They have a charming asymmetry, they drift in sometimes oblique and irregular patterns. This is pop that wants to show you what it’s made of.” - Pitchfork
“There is something there, then; something that belongs to Polachek and Wimberley. Something relentlessly, unavoidably unique. Something quintessentially Chairlift” - The Brag
Armed with a truly unique, engaging and infectious live show, don’t miss CHAIRLIFT in 2016.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Rating: 2 out of 5 Lots of energy, terrible sound
by Sad4Chairlift on 4/23/17Brighton Music Hall - BostonNot sure what was going on that night, but man...Their sound guy left much to be desired. Could not hear Caroline AT ALL, and the bass drowned out all of the other instruments. They had a ton of energy, despite Caroline being sick, but the concert overall was disappointing.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Chairlift was fantastic!
by Stephrey on 4/13/16Music Hall of Williamsburg - BrooklynQuite simply one of the best shows out of the last year (I've been to about 25 over the winter) of seeing shows. Saw them a couple years ago opening for the XX and fell in love with them. Their new album is awesome as well.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Chairlift = Spectacular!
by Edwizzle on 1/31/16Teragram Ballroom - Los AngelesI had not heard or seen much of Chairlift prior to attending their concert. The most of I knew of them and how I had heard of them was through their song that was featured on one of Apple's commercial. Attending the show you could see and feel the excitement from the people attending the show. The crowd was lively and the the music was great. Chairlift is very artistic and they seem to love what they are doing. The are refreshing and inviting. I definitely recommend attending one of their shows! You will not be disappointed.

by smady on 6/12/12Webster Hall - New YorkChairlift was better than I expected going in to it. I've always been a fan, but I didn't know how well the album would translate live, and I was pleasantly surprised to find the lead singer awesome. I'd definitely recommend.

Rating: 5 out of 5 AWESOME!
by dimbazzo on 6/11/12Webster Hall - New YorkThe show was awesome, but we had to wait Chairlift for 3 hours after they open the doors (+1h before) and Laurel Halo, who was one of 2 opening bands was REALLY BAD! Just annoying noises, ppl were almost booing her. Anyway, when Chairlift was on the stage it was really awesome! Caroline Polachek is very talented and beautiful!
Rating: 1 out of 5 Chairlift needs a better guitarist
by dadadarida on 6/11/12Webster Hall - New YorkThe show was kind of lame with no energy. The guitaris was the worst. There was no point of having him there. A perfect clown!
Rating: 5 out of 5 Super talented band.
