Tame Impala
Lyrical introversion and mind-warping psychedelia can be just as enjoyable in big group situations.
Overview
Only two months ago I saw Tame Impala at a packed out Enmore, a sweaty and heavily marijuana scented verification of their legendary status here in the band's homeland. But already they've announced another Australian tour, confirming an exponential increase in popularity that would seem a bit nuts if you hadn't been reading all the end-of-year roundups on all the biggest music sites in the world.
The tour is comprised of five shows to coincide with the band's headline appearance at Groovin' The Moo 2013, kicking off late April, and each comes with a big-time venue upgrade. Instead of The Enmore it'll be the Hordern Pavilion, with the Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth shows taking place in the Festival Hall, Convention Centre, Thebarton Theatre and Belvoir Ampitheatre respectively.
By then Tame Impala's critically eulogised second album, Lonerism, will have been getting airtime for around six months, so don't put off buying tickets until the last minute. Lyrical introversion and mind-warping psychedelia can be just as enjoyable in big group situations.
Tickets go on sale 9am on Thursday, 21 February through Ticketek.
