Tame Impala, Sound Control Manchester, 6th July 2011
(click to enlarge)
Wolf People. I bloody love Wolf People. And I could see the stage when Wolf People were on.
Unfortunately the picture pretty accurately portrays all I could see as soon as Tame Impala came on. It was rammed, and I watched the back of Adam from Mythbusters* head and his banal text messages for the entire gig. At least that was when I wasn't being hugged by a man who told me he’d come all the way from Australia for the gig, and listening to a group of teenage Bieber fans shouting how much they loved each band member.
(*It wasn't him really. Or was it..?)
Still, I enjoyed it very much, although because I am now a grumpy old man I preferred the longer psychedelic instrumental bits rather than the songs with vocals.
Go and watch a video of one of the set highlights. Not made by me, obviously, otherwise it'd just be a video of what some ginger beardy bloke was texting to his mates.
