Biography
Tame Impala are a three piece psychedelic rock band from Perth, Western Australia. The band consists of Kevin Parker (lead guitar and vocals), Dominic Simper (bass guitar) and Jay Watson (drums and backing vocals). Their name refers to the impala, a medium sized antelope. Their musical sound draws from a wide range of influences (most notably Cream and Germany's Colour Haze) and they like to see themselves as "a steady flowing psychedelic groove rock band that emphasizes dream-like melody." The band signed a worldwide deal with boutique label Modular Recordings in mid 2008.
