What he said -- curses and thanks!
what do people think? I think they are great personally.
Thought their first album was great. I haven't heard their latest album yet, but will purchase it soon.
streamed the new album a couple of times at work. First I heard of their work. I like.
Just bought it. I love them. I will say I was head over heals after the first ep, then each album feels a little "samey" but I'm still a big fan and really hope to see them live sometime.
The vinyl arrives at my house on Saturday, where I will give it a real listen, as streaming while at work isn't really doing it for me.
Innerspeaker was goddamn amazing, and I don't know how they'll ever top that EP and Half Full Glass of Wine. They may be my next iteration of Secret Machines, where everything goes sorta downhill after that initial flash of brilliance. I'd better at least get to see these guys live.
I frakking love this band!

Holy Crap this album is fantastic. I will have to give Menomena a rest for the day and play this.
Good times in music.
This is easily one of my favorite albums of the year. Heavy Lips influence if you ask me.
Mind Mischief is my favorite

Yeah, after first listen I was thinking they're taking the psychedelic pop torch from the Lips, since Lips have gotten away from it with noisier records.
Love it. Saw these guys a couple months back at the Outside Lands Festival in SF, though unfortunately they were set up toward the back of a ridiculously oversized stage that had been prepped for a Metallica set...kinda killed the energy. Looking forward to catching these guys at The Fillmore next month though. Woot!
everyone needs to check their new album out.. it's great and their fellow aussie's :cool:
my roommate recently introduced me to them and i liked what i heard...i need to pick up one of their albums
I'm an Innerspeaker man through and through.
Also, some of the dates coming up have The Amazing, an awesome Swedish group opening for them. Their album The Gentle Stream drops next week. Stoked!
Thanks to Cookie and DB for introducing them to me.
I'm listening and I'm liking this album. I'm going to have to listen to this Innerspeaker that some of you have mentioned.
I like the new record, but Innerspeaker is just pure, sweet, bongy deliciousness.

I just switched to Innerspeaker because of that description. Not that I didn't like the new album.
Pretty cool band. A good way to describe them is Dr. Dog mixed with Portugal The Man.
Should I start with Lonerism, or InnerSpeaker?
They're both really good, may as well start from the beginning and go with Innerspeaker
They will also be at the Georgia Theater Feb 23 as well. I'll be there! :beer:

I know most seem to really like Lonerism, but I dont get the love. I like Feels Like We Only Go Backwards, but overall I think the album sounds like a totally different band than Innerspeaker. I love Innerspeaker, but I put the new one in the same category as Delta Spirit's new album, huge disappointments.
Love this

NEW ALBUM IS AWESOME. BEST ALBUM TO COME OUT OF 2012
My new record store clerk just introduced me to them, i love them!
have you guys checked out Melody's Echo Chamber? not sure why i waited so long, but it's flooring me today. produced by TI's Kevin Parker, this thing is a natural companion piece to Lonerism.

WHOA, I had not heard of this, it's very cool.
Anyone going to the Terminal 5 show tonight? More importantly, does anyone have an extra tickets to sell, to the terminal 5 show tonight?? :beer:
So has anyone seen them on this current leg of the tour? I see em tomorrow and was curious how they were sounding. Admittedly I enjoyed the Pond album more than either TI full length and Innerspeaker much more than Lonerism but still stoked for this.
Mr.or Mrs Mod....may I request a thread merger please? Thanks!
My husband saw them in November and thought they sounded great. They've changed things around some. The drummer is now playing keyboards and doing backup vocals and they have a new drummer. They seemed more confident and they had more than 45 mins of songs to play. :smiley:
oooooh - cool poster for tonight. If anyone ends up with an extra, I'd love to buy it. I'd send you $ for shipping + Pliney for your trouble. :beer:
I finally get to see them tonight, they're coming to Athens-I'm pretty stoked! :drum:

Enjoy man! Saw them on Wednesday and came away impressed. Sounds like they've been able to beef up and polish their live sound with their huge success these days. I thought they were very good but they could have done more with their spirograph video accompaniment though the simplicity was their likely intent.
From what I remember, they were awesome! I must have had a great time though-I'm hurtin pretty bad today
Have loved this band since Innerspeaker came out. Saw them last fall at Union Transfer and they were fantastic in concert - definitely go see them live if you can!
seeing them tomorrow night!
I just found out about this group and they are great. They played a sold out show in Austin last night at Stubbs. Tickets on stubb hub were going for $70, which is beyond unreasonable for this band (or most).
Did anyone in the Austin area go?
How is their light show?
Tame Impala was amazing. Light show is pretty straight forward. They do the trippy computer graphic deal projected on screens. you know the bouncy lines & shapes in rhythm with music. work for them.
I have been listening to both Lonerism and InnerSpeaker a lot the past two weeks. I think both are near perfect psychedelic rock albums. Love this band and after seing them live love them even more. If they come through town buy tickets early, show selling out and scalping is getting outrageous.
I finally get to see them tonight, and the Cain's in Tulsa, woohoo! :cheesy:

Yes sir! I went through that record show in NYC during T5 week asking everybody there if they had Innerspeaker, and nobody knew what the hell I was talking about. Tonight I'll be somewhere in the middle of a big crowd, as I can't go get in line. Stupid work!
If they play Half Full Glass of Wine, I might pee my pants.

On Fallon last week. Reminds me of Syd-era Floyd. Just ordered Lonerism.
Holyfuckingshit that was great. Not only was the band having a great time, and the crowd fucking going insane, but they played Half Full Glass of Wine (which of course I now see they have been closing all of their first sets with lately, but I have purposefully not been paying attention), AND did a kickass jam on the end of it, AND I got a setlist, AND I did not pee my pants.
I described them a while back as George Harrison if he kept on taking acid and joined Pink Floyd and stayed the same age forever, and the show was a lot like I imagined that would be. It was one of those shows where you don't want it to end, and every song they play just blows your goddamn mind, and it even felt weird to hear the crowd cheer between songs, I was just drinking it all in. I don't even know about light shows or anything else—if you like Tame Impala's music, you'll love them live.
Great to hear glowing reports of the current tour. Sounds like they have stepped up their game as compared to how they were after Innerspeaker. I'm looking forward to seeing them later this year.
I'm relieved that while completely batshit happy about the show and your song needs being met you were able to retain your continence. Also the show sounds great! I will be searching them out this year. I know of at least one festival where I'll have the opportunity to see them. Glad you enjoyed it.
I'm starting to seriously consider their show in Boston on March 12th. Looks like I'm stuck with StubHub, though. Hmmmm.

Even after getting over my six-bourbon and post-show bliss, I loved the hell out of last night's show. I have a feeling though that if I had seen them during that reportedly subpar Innerspeaker tour, I would have loved the hell out of that show too, because I'm just nuts about their music. I can't say anything about them stepping up their game, but I am pretty sure the crowds are bigger. The Cain's was packed last night, and it was very energetic.
I will stop gushing enough to say that they could have played a longer show, it was only about 80 minutes, and they have plenty of material to go longer.

So, the Boston show is sold out, so I'm looking at $48 (StubHub w/fees) and a 90-minute drive. Convince me... :undecided:
If Crispy's review didn't convince you, Yac, what will?

Actually, I don't know, that might put it past the edge even for me, with that price and the brevity of their show, while awesome, would not be such a great value (last night's show was $17). Not being entirely familiar with their catalog could be a factor too, at least it can for me, depending on the band. Another aspect that made the show great for me was that I was able to get in line an hour before doors and got on the rail, and that might not be doable for you in Boston. Sorry to be talking them up one minute and then trying to unconvince you the next.

I'm glad you had a great time - I LOVED the show I saw during their Innerspeaker tour - it was so much fun. Part of that was because Yuck opened for them. They were back here last November and tickets were going for 4 x face on craigslist, and now they are coming to Oakland in May. Can't wait!

No worries, Crispy. But there is a difference between a $17 ticket for an 80-minute show an hour away and $48 for the same show 1.5 hours away... and on a Tuesday night. I have really enjoyed everything I'm hearing so far, don't doubt I'd enjoy the show, but I think I'll save it for another time. Maybe if a cheap ticket appears, I'll change my mind. I'd rather spend the money on some vinyl, such as their latest, ordered yesterday.
Yac, I have the same dilemma. Could go see them in Montreal (about 2 hours away), but it's on a Monday night and would cost $50. I really want to see them, but I also need to be sensible.
Exactly right. I could have made the trip to whichever coast to see them last year or the year before, but I had other priorities. We're not talking about MMJ here! :rolleyes:

Sensible sucks, but the more restraint I show now, the better off I'll be when they announce the next big thing. And I'm spoiled, spending not much more that $50 for 2-3 hour sets from MMJ or under $150 for 3 days of music. Can't equate a day at Newport, Solid Sound, or Forecastle with Tame Impala on a Tuesday night.
Looks like their Montreal show is at the place where we first met in person, Metropolis! :beer:

I've decided to forgo the show next week. Just bad timing. But this is a nice consolation prize...

I'm right there with you. They sold out the show at Stubbs in Austin in no time. The cheapest tickets ($20 face value) were going for $70. $70 is just stupid expensive for this band. So I went to the show as I work close by just to see if I could scalp after the show started and people were asking $100. Needless to say, I hung out outside for a little while and listened that way. Free was in my price range that night.

It's a great venue and one of my favourites.
I thoroughly enjoyed Tame Impala's show. The band that's touring with them, The Growl, was quite good, too.
We were lucky to get them on a Saturday night in Louisville.
So the bassist left, guess he wants to focus on Pond. Oh well, glad I enjoy both bands.

The band is also in the midst of planning a U.S. tour, slated to begin this October. Adds Parker, "It'll be a hoot!"

I read today that they'll be opening for The Flaming Lips. I seen Tame Impala at Bonnaroo and it was ok, but could've been a lot better. It may have just been me being tired and hungry.

Dates are up. It's with the Flaming Lips, who I assume is the headliner. I'm not as stoked about that. Maybe they're co-headliners, but I doubt it...... although TI's name is not listed in the same size text as FL on the ticket purchasing page.
No White Denim for the MPP show, but want to go? I'll check them out based on your enthusiasm.
Finally coming to STL! With White Denim.
Tame Impala and White Denim?! :shocked: Yeah, I'll go.
Love that P522 or something chorus, that was great!
They're back in the U.S. for a few shows in November.
Their album, "Live Versions" is really good. The beginning of Half Full Glass of Wine is particularly rocking after Kevin Parker so calmly says "go crazy Chicago."
Jay Watson's solo project as Gum (Delorean Highway) is worth checking out.
Currents!
Can't wait for the new LP :thumbsup:
Just heard the new single... 'Cause I'm a Man'.
Kevin Parker has some soul!
Man this new track sounds like Kevin Parker melted down some old Tears For Fears records, drank 'em in a smoothie and hit the studio. And I say that as unbelievably high praise. Really looking forward to this new record and tour.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyEB2AEqHxc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyEB2AEqHxc)
I love it. How chill it is. It's do different from the last album. I wasn't expecting this at all.
digging the new songs. looking forward to their upcoming album. I was listening to Temples the other day and there are some songs that sound very similar to Tame Impala.
I've only seen them once. Saw them back in 2011 at the First Unitarian Church in philly, but I was there mainly to see the opening band, Yuck :grin: I wasn't too familiar with them back then and couldn't really understand/hear them well that night.
Love it . It's like a psychedelic slow jam.
I am no one.

Man this new track sounds like Kevin Parker melted down some old Tears For Fears records, drank 'em in a smoothie and hit the studio. And I say that as unbelievably high praise. Really looking forward to this new record and tour.

This song is out there. I'm not digging it so much yet. I love the first song they released, "Let It Happen." I was really fired up for the new album after hearing that one. Now after "'Cause I'm a Man," I'm still fired up for the new album but am now expecting just about anything. Tame Impala acoustic? Probably not that crazy, but something cool and amazing. Unless I am missing something, I don't see the album release date anywhere. It must come out before their big tour

No release date as of yet, unfortunately.
In re: to Tame Impala acoustic... check out that Marc Riley Acoustic Session from 2010 if you haven't already...

Why Won't You Make Up Your Mind?
after one listen the bridge sound a lot like the bridge to "Didn't I blow your mind" by the Delfonics
pretty cool song though

Cool. I didn't know about any acoustic session. I'm curious and will check it out for sure. Thanks.
Hearing the new songs live last night from Coachella i dug them more.
Kevin Parker was interviewed during the Coachella live stream and said he didn't even know when the album was coming out. I think it's some type of marketing thing, and it will all of a sudden be out. Hopefully before the tour gets going, I'd love to hear more new stuff especially if it's anything like "Let It Happen."
Album is out July 17.
"Eventually" released yesterday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHe8kKO8uds&feature=youtu.be (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHe8kKO8uds&feature=youtu.be)
Sounds very much like a breakup song... lyrically covers a lot of the ground that Jim does in "Get the Point" and "Only Memories Remain." Funny that their new album titles could be seen as similar too.. The Waterfall vs. Currents, although current could relate more to electricity than water.
obsessed with this band at the moment... new tracks are superb.

Totally. Second favorite behind MMJ. I found out about Tame Impala (among many others) from the Forum, and I'm so thankful for that. I just wish they changed up their setlist.
They were changing it a bit between Coachella and other festival dates, but now it looks like they've locked it in. Going to the show in Toronto next Tuesday and it's been a long time since I've anticipated a concert this highly! Will be my first time seeing them.
Anyone seen them yet on this leg of the tour?

I'm seeing them on June 6 in DC.
I saw them at the Ryman last Monday. Effing outstanding. I've been to 40+ shows at the Ryman, and this one sounded better than almost any other I can remember. Their light show and visuals were awesome.
Seeing them for the first time in Pittsburgh, June 3rd (day before MMJ).
Really diggin the Disciples track. Only thing that sucks, is its less than 2 minutes long. But, good news is it looks like they extend it live!
here they are as puppets :thumbsup:

Currents is out there for those who want to search. And man I love it. Huge change in their sound. Lots of bass and synths.

Awesome album! Can't stop listening to it.
^ Yup. At first I was like yeah it's decent, and now it's on repeat.
Not sure how I feel about this new one. Not bad, just sounds like something to play for background music than something I want to crank up. Theyve kind of lost me since Innerspeaker.
LOVEEEEEEE the new record.
I know that the lack of guitars has struck a nerve with a lot of people, but think about this; how many musicians have completely scrapped their guitars and stayed true to their musical identity? Kevin Parker has proven that he can write great riffs, bass lines and synth tracks. The major stylistic changes just proves that his arsenal is pretty much unlimited.

My favorite non-guitar rock album in years. I don't even think it's a rock album. I'm not a synth fan, but this album is outstanding! That one song with the deep voice guy (Past Life) doesn't work for me at all. Kevin Parker is a super talent. I wouldn't be surprised if the next album has more guitar and has it front and center. Clearly Kevin isn't afraid to mix things up.
YEAH one hell of an album! Currents is on fire. can't wait to see these guys live!
I like it a lot, not sure if i like it as much as Lonerism or Innerspeaker. I think there are a few "filler" songs on here. Cause I'm a Man might be my fav song off the album (had it stuck in my head the past few days)

Agreed with past life, this along with a couple other songs should've been left off to make a shorter, tighter album. I like the album but it's definitely not their best like some are saying.
