321 : Tame Impala

Tame Impala have spent the best part of this year jamming, getting signed to Modular, and putting the DUUUUUDE, WHOOOOAH and SWEEEEET back into psychedelic rock. The Australian trio have an amazing new EP out and recently stopped staring at their Magic Eye poster long enough to answer our three little questions.

Tame Impala – Skeleton Tiger [mp3] [Buy]

“1. Dom is left handed but couldn’t be bothered changing his strings around so learnt guitar right handed.

2. The sun is 8 light-minutes away, because it takes 8 minutes for the light to reach your eyes. so when you look at the sun, you’re seeing it as it was 8 minutes in the past.

3. One of the tracks on our EP was recorded 3 years ago.”

“We love Outkast’s Hey Ya. awesome groove, awesome melodies, different timing, it’s pretty much genius.

We hate Kid Rock’s All Summer Long. DUDE, WHAT THE FUCK.”

“To one day meet Katy Perry.”
