Tame Impala

Overview

Perhaps Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon and Cream once got together for a big love-in jam, and Tame Impala were there like baby grasshoppers learning their craft from these musical masters. The Perth tio's debut self-titled EP, released last year, featured the track Desire Be Desire Go as well as Half Full Glass Of Wine which  boasts a tripped up, psychedelic video brimming with frenzies of colour, animation and activity.

Now the boys are fresh from a monolithic shed in Indidup – located an hour from the Margaret River – where they have been recording material for their debut album. In the meantime, they’ve offered us a teaser with Sundown Syndrome available on iTunes and collectable 7” vinyl, which also comes complete with a remix of the title track by the Canyons, and an interesting b-side where the trio reinterpret the Blue Boy’s 90s hit, Remember Me.

Sydney singer-songwriter, Jonathan Boulet will be support at their Manning Bar show, playing tracks from his debut album including alt. radio favourite, A Community Service Announcement. Tame Impala will also play at Albury-Wodonga’s iconic Ettamogah pub as part of the inaugural all-ages Indie Music Festival, sharing a bill with Cog, British India and others. Let the sunshine in but remember to avoid the brown acid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfcHq0hhFWg
