Tame Impala performing "Desire Be Desire Go" on KCRW

[dongabhana87]

so tight yet so free. so effin' awesome it's ridiculous!

[dankestbudz420]

anyone know what pedals he was using from 0:05 to 0:40?

[FabianSounds]

@dankestbudz420 He has used Stereo Pulsar Electro harmonix, you can see in this video

Tame Impala, Desire Be Desire Go (LIVE at the Falls Festival)

[guitarman4871]

i LOVE that bass. reminds me of black mountain. the bass and kick pedal it out!

[railfanist]

no , not copying the beatles... wearin' that fuckin'shirt like he don't give a fugggg

[tastyoyster]

oh man. i dig it

[tastyoyster]

are they merely copying the beatles? or are they they own? too fucked up. cant tell!

[MisturButterman]

It's like Echoes of Pink Floyd found some revival in here.

[2aurorasun]

@MisturButterman finally someone else picked up on that

[lizardking790]

this song alone gets me high it takes me to a different world Tame Impala is really one of my favorite bands

[mimosa87]

Do you think the sound could be a little worse, maybe?



[Underhill182]

Man I wish they stuck to their old sound

[TsarCzar9]

@Underhill182 what do you mean? like the EP>Innerspeaker? I know their older stuff was more lo-fi but its pretty much the same concept

[Underhill182]

@TsarCzar9 Not really the same concept. EP was genuinely lo-fi psych, the new stuff sounds like indie pop all dressed up in 'vintage' and 'drugs'.

[Scoob505]

@Underhill182 Probably wouldn't have gotten as much attention if they did. Their new album, I have a feeling will be more similar to their older stuff. Kevin said it will be like thier Congratulations ( MGMT )

[Underhill182]

@Scoob505 Hope so. Damn Modular, its all their fault

[TsarCzar9]

@Scoob505 where did you hear that, i would love to read that article?

[Scoob505]

@TsarCzar9 I will have a look for you and send it on if I find it again. I read it a few months ago.

[Scoob505]

@TsarCzar9 found it and sent it to you.

[b3o2rock]

this session , dom look like jonny greenwood :)

[Emlis16]

P.S: There's someone outside that door at 2:44 getting down to it :P

[Emlis16]

I love the clarity of this <3

[notimetovisitmaniacs]

What's with all the hate?

[Bassynor]

How is it possibel for human beings to make that good music?

[GreenyMcFleetwood]

They take the sound of three great bands, The Beatles, Cream and The Nazz and meld the sounds together seamlessly

[wungabunga]

I'm 39, seen them come, seen them go. Tame Impala transcend the psychedelic aspect of their approach, because they write fucking good songs. They literally could not fuck up an album. Can't wait for their follow up.

[studown93]

the bass in the breakdown is sooo groovy

[glitchtoast]

I love this band. Why comparing bands and sounds anyway?

[Jimi456blues]

@misspretendy History repeats itself. I for one am glad they bands like this are helping bring back music of the 60s. Now shut the fuck up while i listen to these guys jam.

[lalax0lauren]

why so many dislikes WHY??

[tamie1041]

everything thats recorded in that studio sounds beast

[thepocky77]

They have one of the best eps i ever heard, and they are one of the worst live bands i ever heard, and for the fool who said about barre chords, learn to listen expectations have, maj7s and a lot of their songs have complex time changes and chord progressions, such a shame they play like this live, this isnt a hate comment i love the band, its like gilmour with floyd,just boring...

[eblair1990420]

this is like led zeppelin, beatles and pink floyd combined ha but deff of this time.

[nirvana77811]

Tame Impala has become my alter ego =)

[comicsprof]

Not mad for the mix, but the music is intriguing. Brings to mind Os Mutantes, only less frenetic. I also like the tempo changes.

[marbec08]

@misspretendy why do you feel the need to criticize someone? are you trying to help them be perfect" cos last time i checked no one is perfect. stop trying to fix something that fans dont find broken. thats just your opinion and if you have something rude to say just keep it to yourself. if you feel very strongly about correcting their "imperfections" why dont you try playing their music yourself. who knows, maybe you will be able to live up to your own expectations.

[misspretendy]

What is this? A lesson in how to fool hipsters. Learn a couple of bar chords, crank the delay up to 11 and look serious. Whatever you do, don't learn how to play your instrument beyond kindergarten level and don't ever try to find an original sound. Just rip off the classics. The hipsters will all be amazed. They will!Just read the comments if you don't believe me.

[Rmarsh92]

@misspretendy Calm down and smoke some erb. Jeeze.

[Gbodorr]

@misspretendy wow you must be so sad going on all Tame Impala videos just to crap about them, go away you troll...

[thepocky77]

@misspretendy AND BESIDES learn the difference between delay and reverb

[Askarion]

183 people have no sence for nothing.....trust me !

[ThaWeekend]

Hi Im Marcus And Tame Impala Is my favorite music.

[Cheddar420ful]

Far too many people have disliked this video. That is all.

[DazedAndConfused1974]

Dude, he wears that shirt all the damn time! lmao... but yeah, the mix is pretty bad, but still not a bad performance!

[KiCkAsSMATT123]

why couldn't god give us tame impala instead we have hermaphrodite gaga :(

[newmoonsamesun]

what kind of pedal is he using to make that badass sound. I found out he uses a Blues driver and a jimi hendrix fuzzface, which i have both what else? more delay? Memory man, boss digital delay??

[newtonruth]

5:07 supreme 

[youhalfpipe]

who the fuck is mixing this

[mommasgirl1012002]

I like his shirt. c:

[dan456543]

Tame Impala are everything that is good in young people making music today

[Emlis16]

@dan456543 I know right :P

[hojun7273]

wtf? 180 dislikes? why? stupid cunts lol

[iunnodiapeys]

what pedal does he use for distortion??

[jacksonprinceful]

@iunnodiapeys he uses like 15 pedals... Some of them are custom pedals too.

[DimebagsLeftToe]

@iunnodiapeys zvex fuzz or a boss blues driver. lots of compression also

[hegelec]

Is the drummer wearing a Yes t-shirt? Looks like "The Ladder"...

[effarve]

@heuilleman well if thats true then early pink floyd sucked a fat cock too! that was shit music, and you can keep your opinions to your fuckin self fool

[KingOfVulgar36]

This Is A Good Song :D I Love This Song,I Listen To This Everyday :D

[THECLASHATTACK]

is that a fucking teenage mutant ninja turtles shirt!?!? I bow down to you Master Bad Ass.

[ezymorninrebel]

I don't get why people who say their recording sounds shitty. If you read any articles on this band that is how they record. You should know the band better before you post comments that make you look ignorant.

[harrymuse]

I'm not surprised with all the people who dislike this video 'cause I know Tame Impala is one of the bands for clever people who embrace pretty good taste in music. So, we are just a few in the whole world, I'm pleased.

[jcarrig]

@harrymuse i dunno. huge fan, but this is a terrible recording job of them. doesnt do their album justice

[mynmyself]

@harrymuse ... amazing how pretentious your comment was... and how many people feel the same but thumbing it up... hipster bullshit... tame impala is a great band that does very cool and nice music... does it really make u feel THAT special and that clever? maybe you should go and read some kafka and speak about allienation, or even go and writte your own novel sitting on the sofa on some random starbucks

[mynmyself]

@TheCrashesshit i guess u didnt understood my comment hey, whenver u want we can meet and listen to some crazy piper at the gates of dawn, probably my favorite album. well, i lie, kid A is my favorite album i guess. but i guess that doesnt make me feel clever, not even special or unique. i just enjoy having a good time listening and making music. i would never say "uh, how clever i am for listening to pink floyd and the 13th floor elevator", thats hipsterism just like reading kafka on public

[Alansmitheelives]

@mynmyself Kafka is not just for art fags

[mynmyself]

@Alansmitheelives well... i think it was pretty clear i was using kafka as an example of "stupid-pseudointelctual-bohem­ian-ridicolous-hipster-artfags­-blablabla" main topics.. i love it when someone vanaglories kafka but hasnt read any of his magicness or have just seen some metamorphosis movie... is as funny as feeling clever for listening to an specific band... i must be REALLY inteligent cause i love aphex twin and he is doing InteligentDanceMusic

[Alansmitheelives]

@mynmyself Only joking about man but now you mention it Apex twin and Kafka are to mainstream, I'm on to the moderat and Camus.

[EsmeraldaCatLover]

@harrymuse I must be a member of Mensa because I'm a massive fan of Tame Impala. I first discovered the band when my mum put this exact song on a CD she made herself, and I had to learn more about this amazing Aussie band. To my elated surprise, I loved every other song they ever recorded. They are the new Beatles.

[PyroboyAce297]

@harrymuse we have a hipster here

[bumbeetunagmailcom]

i never get sick of this video ...... i saw them open with this song at falls 2010/2011 and ive listen to their ablum and ep everyday since fuk kevin parker u are a talented bloke

[WTFisvF]

WHY ALL THE DISLIKES?! :*(

[heuilleman]

WHY SO MUCH DISLIKES ?

[icrf123]

@heuilleman geezers, i think

[rackley98052]

Cute guys. I'd have sex with any of them.

[elkiquej]

I'm not sure whats better: his guitar or his tmnt shirt...

[IrenaSkate]

I looveeeeeee this song!!!!<3

[jcarrig]

how did this vid get hundreds of thousands of hits in the last few days? tame impala is one of my fav bands but this isnt the best mix/recording of their sound

[SuperQuin2010]

What type of strat is that?

[rainbowdemolition]

with each spliff it just keeps getting better

[cozywon]

This is dope.  Very vintage, and the quality of the video adds to the feel of this song. Very cool.

[anogramatic]

If it's too slow, you're not smoking enough weed

[Guerolisto]

I heard that shit before...oh yes! 60 and 70

[ninojaquez]

Hipstu

[ninojaquez]

@Foreignstar

Lul no.....

[effarve]

this was just awful.... singing was crappy, drums were simple as they could be, and the guitar was nothing but noise... no wonder the music industry is in ruins! if you cant produce better shit than this, please just walk away!

[Dethbrin]

@effarve simple drumming is the best drumming

[NeonPsychedelicRobot]

@effarve You are far too cynical for your own good. No wonder you fail to see the adequacy in this performance. This isn't the best performance, but it isn't also the worst either.

[heuilleman]

@effarve shut up fool Its look like early pink floyd !!!

[Bluntwrap4]

@effarve sorry but most probably you don't play an instrument or have any clue about music. do you know why jimi hendrix was that popular? he experimented with sounds. of course he was a good player but the new sounds he created are what made him famous. some people, people like you, confuse discipline with creativity.

and btw i heard this band in this video for the first time and i can say that the drummer is pretty skilled. he doesn't have to show it off.

[2444Joshua]

tame impala are gods , kevin parker (lead singer, guitarist) is a genius , this recording doesn't give them justice

[rum02]

just some talented young aussies engaging in a chilled jam. Not really much more to it than that. There is a lack of quality music like this imho. Can't understand what the others are complaining about. I get the impression that most people here disliking just watched the first 30 seconds and got bored.

[jtalada]

Horror!

[zo1a1]

WTF it's such a shit

[nikapuchoy]

Very cute

[Foreignstar]

people who have a real appreciation for music would sincerely understand an accept this piece of art for what it is. Art.

[guccilitlepiggy]

too slow



[zzzaaakkkaaa]

I don't know what's wrong with you people but this band is freaking awesome.

Well at least they are waaaay better to what Mtv has to offer nowadays.

[Jasmerewashere]

They are pretty good guys just chill out.GAHH

[ixlikexscurvy]

This should be called "group of stoned hippies takes a look back at the 70s"

[crazyminiman98]

Everyone visit my channel watch my show and tell your friends because new episodes are coming soon

[g2g4m10]

Is this a joke?

[Se7enthDayTheBand]

Three minutes in and they still suck if you want to hear good music listen to my band Billboards & Byways!

[janfawi]

اووووووووووووكي

[elictusice]

[SlasherDrMengele]

Really...? How do these people like this.

[IAmAwesomeSoAreYou]

I like it(: fuck the haters they loseersss haha

[hotjar71]

this 'band' sucks ass. shit like this is whats wrong with music today. no talent hacks. this is some of the worst "music" i have ever heard. fuck this lame, bullshit garbage. fuck this shit.

[screener545]

The lead singer does not sound like john lenon... Things wrong with this song or thing because the only thing that is wrong is thoose disgusting vocals get a good mic take thoose dumb effects off crank the volume up atleast four times louder then try again

[ricky2878]

gay

[OfficialRobbieMason]

the lead singer sounds like John lennon if you dont look at the video

[bwlbevern]

The intro sounds like the intro to a porn movie..

[fernandestemplo]

videozinho muquirana esse gente que coisa ruim deveria aver a possibilidade de retirar os videos e a rejeiçao dor mas de 70 pessoas que nao gostaram dos videos

[IXIPestilenceIXI]

tame impala is fucking awesome.. one of the best bands of today.. go listen to your faggy ass lady gaga IF U DONT LIKE IT..

[Guerolisto]

@IXIPestilenceIXI not everyone who thinks that band sucks likes Lady Gaga :| are you retarded?

[IXIPestilenceIXI]

@Guerolisto I was using her as an example.. she seems to be the most popular artist these days so i think its a pretty damn good example..

[Guerolisto]

@IXIPestilenceIXI OK, I forgive you

[Nytemare111]

they need stabbed repeatidly

[selqka15]

are they fans of supernatural

[stef92263]

Youtube sucks

[Jawrathful]

How did this $#*% ever show up as something I might want to watch? Not only is it boring music that you'd have to be drugged up to watch (and probably still not enjoy), their performance is absolutely the most boring display I have ever seen ever.

[sdarms111]

Yeah.. I don't really get this.

[xmann96]

As much as I like Tame Impala, and their album, this is not the video YouTube should have picked from them to be the featured video.

[Tengent]

I got excited when I saw this on Youtube's front page. :D One of the best groups going right now IMO.

[sagar3257]

nice..

[SoulShadow76]

This sounds more like a jam session than a song. I can see they are creative and will make a jewel. This is not it though.

[synth3333]

@SoulShadow76 this is just a bad version

[MCVanillaFace]

Indie sucks ass

[CaniTrollYou]

@MCVanillaFace

Haters gonna hate.

Gtfo this video then.

[MCVanillaFace]

@CaniTrollYou Give me three reasons you can call indie an art form

[CaniTrollYou]

@MCVanillaFace

That's not the point moron, I could ask you the same question about any other kind of music.

I do agree that this song is rather bad, but to call indie in general bad?

No, just no. Again, if you don't like it, move on.

[lvivponykva]

nice

[PHILLYHEAT215]

For everyone who says this sucks, I suggest you listen to the studio album version, its alot better.

[MrErik12321]

What the fuck is this shit??

[vila37]

@MrErik12321 are you justin bieber?

[TheAximerShow]

Pink Floyd and The Beatles had a babies and we are watching them :)

[jonfredric1]

bad mix yo

[thenewimahich]

all that equipment but none to lower the instruments to hear the voice?

[ronbluellama]

god this BLOWS

[51Mrsurfer]

That was ok

[FloydIV]

Oh god that flanger effect is annoying |:

Other than that, it was alright

[Bariful50biswas]

it well

[1975MAICO1975]

SOUNDS LIKE OLD PINK FLOYDS SONGS !!!

[lizard2001]

i tought it was a tamed impala singing.....

[LambOfGodThrasher]

I'd like to here the studio he puases a lot but that's cause he has to turn distortion pedals on and of and as a guitarist myself it's annoying

[veekendvarrior]

Innerspeaker forever
