Tame Impala


Aweditorium. If your stupid enough to buy an ipad instead of a Mac, then you may have heard of it.
It's an ingenious app introducing old and new artists.

The first band I discovered were Tame Impala. This Perth based band create psychedelic hypno-groove melodic rock music. I was immediately attracted to their sound, as their song Solitude of Bliss reminds me of Incubus' early material; Fungus Amongus (check out Hilikus), and slightly of the Red Hot Chili Peppers Mother's Milk album (check out Knock Me Down).
The video's pretty cool, but don't get put off by the guy punching a alsatian!

The more you listen, the more of an addiction this song becomes. The guitar at the beginning of the song definitely put you in the festival mood!

After Solitude of Bliss go on to Half Glass Full of Wine. Not so much 'groove', but something reminds me of Queen of the Stone Age's 'The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret'. 
They have been around for a few years, which makes me disappointed in myself that i didn't discover them sooner. 
Check them out, definitely worth a listen.
