Grammy nominated and keeper of several awards from around the world, Tame Impala\u00a0is the\u00a0Perth<\/a>,\u00a0Australia<\/a>\u00a0based\u00a0psychedelic<\/a>\u00a0recording project of\u00a0Kevin Parker<\/a>.\u00a0The band rose to prominence in 2010 with the release of its debut album\u00a0Innerspeaker<\/a><\/i>\u00a0and received critical acclaim for its 2012 album\u00a0Lonerism<\/a><\/i>. On May 7, 2015 the band announced that their third album,\u00a0Currents<\/a><\/i>, would be released in July 17, 2015.\u00a0The band name “Tame Impala” is a reference to the\u00a0impala<\/a>, a medium-sized\u00a0antelope<\/a>.<\/p>\n

They played a sold out show with supporting band, Mini Mansions at the Riviera Theatre in Chicago on May 15th, 2015. \u00a0It was a true psychedelic show. \u00a0Intro grooves, melodic jams, fog filled stage, vibrant dancing colored lights and special effects that included a projector that moved to the strums of guitar chords and of course, puffs of smoke from loyal fans.<\/p>\n

The origins of the band can be found in the\u00a0Perth<\/a>\u00a0music scene. Parker played in a number of bands, one being the Dee Dee Dums, a rock duo that consisted of Parker (guitar) and Luke Epstein (drums). Tame Impala emerged in 2007 as a Kevin Parker home-recording project in this period and he posted a number of tracks on\u00a0Myspace<\/a>. This brought interest from a number of labels and eventually, he signed a worldwide deal with the independent\u00a0Modular Recordings<\/a>\u00a0in July 2008.\u00a0To transfer these recordings to a live-stage, Parker enlisted the help of Dominic Simper (bass) and\u00a0Jay Watson<\/a>\u00a0(drums) and began playing at some local gigs.
