Tame Impala Tickets

Loved the show, Tame Impala played mostly songs from their new album, which I enjoyed a lotttt

just had a damn good time! Tame Impala is quite the talented band

I saw TI at The Jackpot, a smallish bar venue in Lawrence, KS, a couple of months ago. Opening band had blown out the p.a. speakers and TI couldn't do vocals. Cancel? No way. They refunded all the cash payers, then proceeded to put on an hour and 3/4 of instrumental jams and sketches that were absolutely terrific, verging on epic. They were obviously deploying some material they were developing for the next release, and it promises to kill. Plus, they were approachable and friendly, polite and gracious - even in the heart of a Plains winter.

I got there during the Flaming Lips kids' set, which needs some kinks worked out still. Tame's set was solid; it was nice to see some shy young guys who seemed grateful to have fans. They could have had a bit more personality, but their sound was good.

So lucky these guys came all the way from Australia. They put on a great show. I would see them again in a heartbeat!

What a show... The vocals, the riffs, the drums, the atmosphere. This is a band whose live performance will not disappoint if you are looking for a mellow, chill show. Keep in mind, this is not an insane upbeat concert.

i originally went to this show to see stardeath and the white dwarfs, but the tame impala was amazing! stardeath never showed, but i still had the best time. one of my new favorite bands for sure.

Tame Impala put on an amazing show surprise surprise. However, I was looking forward to seeing Stardeath as well and they didn't play. Achille Lauro was a really good local opener though.

I first caught Tame Impala last summer as openers for MGMT. Liked them, downloaded their albums and EPs, and was glad they came back this way so soon. Plus, the low ticket price was attractive. The fact that Stardeath & the White Dwarfs was slated as the opener was a nice bonus. I was excited to see them. And then disappointed when they didn't open the show and there wasn't even any mention of what happened. (?!) The (replacement?) opener, "Achille Lauro" was pretty cool, but not on Stardeath's level. With Stardeath it would have been a double-headliner show. Tame Imapala put on a great show and sounded even better than when I saw them 6 months ago. If Stardeath had played (as advertised), this show probably would have gotten a 5-star rating from me.

I'm a huge Tame Impala fan, and they sounded just as good live as on CD. I just wish they'd come back in a larger venue

Awesome show, great live versions of all the songs I've come to love. Definitely worth seeing live. I wish they would keep the tempo and bravado of their harder rockier songs throughout the show but overall best psychedelic rock band from down under!

kuroma opened up doing a decent job. i enjoyed the ones i knew. Stardeath was next and my god were they good. they clearly learned a thing or two from touring with the flaming lips as they rocked the house. tame impala's performance was just what i expected, but seemed much more mellow and failed to catch my attention to much after the energy stardeath had brought.

This was definitely my favorite show I've seen yet. The band was tight. The oscilloscope projection on the stage was really cool. And the Paradise always sounds good. They are never too loud.

The band went into way too many spacey jams with no direction. When they played the meat of the songs it was great, but that was too far and few between. Plus the crowd was edgy and difficult. Not the best show I've seen...by a long shot!

Definitely my favorite show ever. Bowery is a great venue to begin with, but Tame Impala just perfected it. Great vibes from the crowd (with the exception of a few drunken bros).

Was into this band heavily over the summer and jumped at the chance to see them live. Totally worth twenty dollars, worth 40 dollars even. Most exciting shows are so goddamn expensive these days, to see something like this for that little is exactly as it should be :) The crowd was really pretty good, a little quiet, even, but well-behaved and packed into the Bowery. Little space to get drinks. The band found a groove and locked into it for the whole show, breaking up songs with trippy segues and a neat visualization program that matched the lead guitar on a real 1:1 basis. Made me laugh when the guitarist just started fiddling around with the knob, oscillating blue circles across the big screen, messing with everybody's head. Warm-up acts Kumora and Stardeath And White Dwarf weren't bad themselves, some very catchy music coming out now. Lots of Pink Floyd-y stuff. All in all, an excellent show.

Playing live rule #1: Don't play your songs slower than you recorded them on your album unless the effect makes them sound cooler. Every song has a threshold for its perfect tempo, and they ignored the tempos they had already gotten pretty perfect. They played almost all their songs 5 BPM slower than they recorded them. For about 2 songs, the effect was interesting because it made the groove sound slightly heavier, but for the most part it made the songs fall short of their dance appeal. It had to be intentional, as the entire set was consistently slower. Watching the crowd it was apparent that while people were grooving, they weren't quite moving the way I know they should to a live Tame Impala. The oscilloscope projection was sweet, and fun to watch. Their sound was good (other than slightly over-drowned out vocals). Overall it was fun to see them, but their energy was low, and they fell short of the show I know they could have performed. I'm sure with more experience they will come to understand certain techniques for having a dynamic performance, from stage-presence hype to tempo and sound.

i saw them at the silverlake lounge in june, and now at the bowery ballroom in nov. Even though the silverlake show was more intimate, their performance at the bowery was pure genius. they are so young and yet so talented. props to these guys.
