Jackie Got Lemons are a sweet and nutritious alternative indie rock band based in Melbourne , Australia . Comprising of bass , drums and vocals , Jackie Got Lemons aim for quirky references to today ´ s culture movement and senseless human daily behaviour in the form of a satire .
An experimental product brought to us by Sharon , a Spanish comedian / singer who found her inspiration writing songs in poor English . Bass player Karl , sick of playing for corporates and getting fat on gig chicken and Cameron , drummer with an impeccable skill for lateness . We chatted with Sharon to find out who this Jackie chick is and what she has done with the lemons .

Thank you ! I have a background in fashion so our images are influenced by that . We also work with an amazing Italian fashion photographer , his name is Paco Matteo Li Calzi , he ’ s just incredible at what he does , and really fantastic to work with . He ’ s the one who captured our promo images .
Your band ’ s name is Jackie Got Lemons . Who is Jackie and what has she done with the Lemons ?
Well , it ’ s quite silly ! We got the idea when my sister received a housewarming gift from a friend named Jackie , and we named the tree after her . It was a lemon tree that never actually harvested , until later when my sister finally saw a small lemon growing on the tree , and she came inside and said ‘ Jackie got lemons !’. We thought it would be an amazing name for a band , so that ’ s how it came to be .
