Tame Impala

[Dave_c]

100000% my Friday headliner. New track is cool, but I do prefer their older stuff, Inner speaker is still my favourite album of theirs. Can't wait to see them, it's the act on the poster I am most looking forward to.

[uscore]

Yeah it's alright.

It's not the song that makes you "YEAH, THEY'RE BACK!" though is it?

[mjfromthelane]

How sure are we that they will be Friday headliners on the Other? If I had 2 pick two 'must-sees' off the initial line up poster it was Stormzy and Tame Impala ?

[yosoyyoberdi]

I saw then at Oxegen 2011 (small tent stage and about 15 of us in the crowd) and at last year's Citadel Festival, quite a massive change between both performances. 

Given the state of the lineup I'll be there to watch them a 3rd time!

Yeah exactly.

I like it, but it’s not the statement of intent that Let It Happen was is it?

Yeh Kevin seems a little shy on stage. Have you seen them headline or at there own indoor show? The visuals, light show and good crowd of fans definitely make up for that. I think the other stage as night falls will be amazing.

I’ve seen them on the Other Stage a few years back, also at Alexander Palace, I really do want to see them again and hope they wow me like their albums do!

[CaledonianGonzo]

I saw them in a small venue and the crowd was largely those fucking "Here We Here We Here We Fucking Go" goons scouting around for a new band after Oasis jacked it in.

[HeyPorter]

Just had them blasting on me dogwalk, impossible not to groove like a dickhead and get odd looks.

Isn't that every gig in Scotland?

I was at Alexandera Palace too. First time I’d seen them, everything got a bit hazy towards the end. The first half was incredible though and they clearly had a great fan base that was well into it. I think it will be even better this year on the other, I  just need to not go full turbo 5 hours before they come on stage this time if I’d like to leave with any form of memory of the gig. I remember all of the pyramid set but they do get a bit lost in the scorching daytime sun.

Sounds ok but would be disappointed if that is the new album highlight. Seen them 3 times at Glasto now and once supporting Arctic’s. Never seen them in the dark with the light show though so that would be cool. It’s always been daytime or sunset slot. Love the albums (currents a bit hit and miss though), so even tho they don’t have much stage presence they are always worth a watch for the tunes alone 

[Matt42]

I like it! Really great news we are getting some new material before the summer! 

In some alternate world they are our Friday night pyramid headliners this year

Yeah, the Irish like it too, but they also like singing Ole Ole Ole Ole Ole for some strange reason.

PS, I'm Irish so it's ok for me to take the piss!

Do Scots still do that annoying "ooah-ooah" during every bit of song that is a bit dancey?

[Eyebrow]

Saw them at Electric Picnic, maybe 2015? In a tent; in the dark, with light show. I’m a fan but I thought it was brilliant. Saw them on tv at Glastonbury and thought they nailed it so they will be a highlight this year for sure. Same with the Pond dudes!

Ha.

 

[Neontiger90]

Decent enough listen for a fan like me, but as has been mentioned it sounds like a run of the mill album track or filler. 

The reality is that it's flat and bland. If that's the new album highlight then it'll be a flop.

Loved the Oxegen weekends! 

2011 lineup

 

 

[Acid Loafers]

The  Foals singles was a bit meh reaction when they came out but in context of the full album, it all fit really well and was well received.

So just gonna wait and see for the full album before fully judging this track.

Isn’t that the Kazakhstan interpretation of “easy, easy’?

 

[Eyebrow]

I personally like it. It’s a piece of a puzzle. It often means more in context of a whole album. 

Tame Impala arent really about bangers (clearly there are exceptions), theyre about a flow. You groove to it!

What a line up that is! I went in 2006 and it was awesome (the weather was terrible though).

Those were the days... I went in 2010 and 2011, both incredible lineups.

 

[RarerThanDandyB]

Very unlikely but I hope Tame dont clash with The Cure. That would be the worst decision I would have to make...
