Cool to hear. Going to see them in Portland

saw these guys last night in dc's 9:30 club. as usual, great full sound in that place.

the band is a 5 piece. I think the drummer from the last tour is playing keys on this tour. there was the singer/guitarist, a 2nd guitar/keys player, and new (to me) bass and drummer. The drummer was good. The band played really well together and the songs, in general, were better live than on record. Some extended jams on some songs. Overall, my expectations were more than met.

On several occasions I've used the Shazam app to determine the name of a band whose sound I like while out and about. The app has turned up Tame Impala seven times in the last month. In different business establishments and even different cities. I guess I'm really drawn to that sound.

The performance of Elephant on Jools Holland is fucking.....awesome.

their ex-drummer/new-keyboard player looks like stewart copeland

yeah it's solid. has sort of a demo feel to it. from my understanding, it's a compilation of some home recordings

This is accurate.

Guys, I'm two-stepping into the past and putting "Lonerism" as my top album of 2012.

That seems reasonable.

Im enjoying Innerspeaker, even if its a predictable record. There are some good songs there.

Just found the band as well, and this thread pops up. Kismet!

they're both excellent

I've been kinda obsessed with this band for the last couple of weeks.

I kinda hated this band the first couple of times I listened. Then I thought, "They're OK". Now I fucking love them.

I prefer Lonerism to Innerspeaker.
