Tame Impala

I may have learned of this group now, later or perhaps never.

I heard a song pumping through the speakers. As you can expect, or you know me well enough to see where this is going, I ran into the DJ booth to ask who it was.



I picked up on the trippy, psychedelic, John Lennon vibe of Solitude is Bliss and have since repeatedly played it and the Midnight Juggernauts remix.

I don’t think I’ll ever forget Tame Impala. The impact of their song was undeniable. I attempted to catch one of their last Montreal shows but unfortunate circumstances prevented me from doing so. I’m waiting to hear what they come up with next.



For a band I knew nothing about until I heard Solitude Is Bliss, Tame Impala really caught my attention. This comes at a time when I want to incorporate more indie-rock to my arsenal. Like The Black Keys and Arcade Fire, Tame Impala invite me to learn more about the modern, alternative rock scene and I’m a fast learner.


The vocalist says I will never come close to how he feels. That may be true. Unlike him, I'm a bit more generous and accommodating. I've at least shared my bliss where the song is concerned. Hopefully he and the rest of the band don't mind joining a shortlist of my best singles.
