Beginnings

Tame Impala initially started off as a psychedelic rock band by Kevin Parker who is the mastermind behind the band. The band was called The Dee Dee Dums. The group bagged the second position at the AmpFest in 2005 and the third place in the state final of The Next Big Thing. The following year they won Western Australia’s State Final of the ‘National Campus Band Competition’ and the next year renamed themselves as Tame Impala, after changing the lineup. 

Self-described as "a steady flowing psychedelic groove rock band that emphasizes dream-like melody", the group has earned itself a huge fan following along with a big name in the industry in a very short period of time. Not only have their songs gone on to become immensely popular hits but their live concerts have been gaining fame as well. Over time, these guys are improving even more and they are without doubt the next big thing.
