Tame Impala at Budweiser Stage

The brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Kevin Parker, Tame Impala is an Australian psychedelic rock project. Parker, who writes, records, performs, and produces the music, began the project in Perth in 2007, signing a worldwide record deal with independent label Modular Recordings the following year. After releasing several singles and EPs over the next few years, Tame Impala's debut album, Innerspeaker, was released in 2010. The album was certified gold in Australia and was well received by critics. Lonerism (2012), was also well received, earning  a Grammy Award nomination for Best Alternative Music Album and reaching platinum status in Australia. Currents, Tame Impala's third studio and most recent album, was released in 2015 and won ARIA Awards for Best Rock Album and Album of the Year. As a live act, Tame Impala is comprised of Parker (guitar, vocals), Dominic Simper (guitar, synthesiser) and members of Australian psychedelic rock band Pond – Jay Watson (synthesiser, vocals, guitar), Cam Avery (bass guitar, vocals), and Julien Barbagallo (drums, vocals).
