The Musical Journey of Kevin Parker (Tame Impala)

- Опубликовано: 10 фев 2025
- Tame Impala has become one of the most culturally influential acts of the past decade, all led by one man responsible for the music, Kevin Parker. His journey hasn’t been quick by any means, it’s a story of a slow grind, putting in work daily out of nothing more than pure love for music. Kevin is best known for Tame Impala, but his story goes well beyond the confines of a singular musical project. To better understand Kevin Parker and Tame Impala, let’s take a look back on how his early life shaped him into one of the most prominent psychedelic rockers of our time.

If there are any artists you want me to do a video on, let me know in the comments!
What is your all time favorite Tame Impala track? For me it's Solitude is Bliss
Keep on Lying🔥
Eventually, The Moment, and Let It Happen
Elephant 🐘
Endors toi
Runway, Houses, City, Clouds... That song makes me feel so good and thankful of life!
As a beginner on drums/guitar, I am glad I learned that he actually went to a music school since I thought before he was self-taught on all the instruments
wait really?
@@multimusicsam dunno the video mentioned that Kevin and Dom met in a music school
@@multimusicsam It's called John XXIII college, but apparently it's for pre-k through 12th grade so idk why it's called college haha, I guess that's just how things work in Australia. For actual college post high school I think Kevin went to a regular university. I don't think John XXIII is a dedicated music school, but they offer music classes and that's where Kevin met Dom.
I’m pretty sure his dad taught him all the instruments way before he was at that school
@@audioeats yeah Australians call high school “college”
i have so much love for this human
This video was well made, all I would add is the writing process and recording behind each album.
Also Glastonbury was a big moment for him
I will look into Glastonbury! What year was that?
I miss the Classic Rock and Psychedelic Rock stuff...Tame Impala will always be great though...one of the best ever
You should listen to Dungen then. That's where it was inspired from and their catalogue is rich with lush psych rock
the album "Purifying Fire" from 2019?
...this doesn't sound like classic nor psych rock...
@ "Dungen" not "Dungeon".
Start with the album "4", and then try "Tio Bitar" and then "Ta det lugnt"

Great video! Hopefully it gets more views as time flows!
Thank you! I appreciate the support!
Worth seeing him in concert!
yeah im jelous
He has come a long way from The Dee Dee Dums. But every artist has a beginning. I personally think Tame Impala was meant to be.
If you get to find more information about the wave house and you wish to, please share some in a new video, I absolutely love that place and know so little about it besides admiring it from the innerspeaker live video, again, great video, now I understand a little bit more the person behind kevin parker, cheers! and you earned a new sub
After doing some more googling on it, it looks like it was built by a surfer from California in the 80's and rented out as a recording studio/event venue. I guess it became popular so a lot of famous artists rented it to record there. It looks like people would have weddings and parties there too. That's about all the info I could find on it, but there's also a Facebook page called "Wavehouse Studios Music Club" that has some more pictures of it if you want to check that out. Hope that helps, and thanks for the support!
@@audioeats will look into it, thanks mate
Have visited wave house a couple of times, I was the last person to record/use the house before he bought it.
I DJ'd in the cave for a friends 30th birthday in 2018 so it was available for airbnb/ similar at that time at least. Great party house, is stunning and has huge bedrooms where you can sleep like 20 or more people
really want another album
Same, hopefully it won't be too much longer
Great video mate!
Great video!! Where did you find all the info about his early life? I’ve watched lots of interviews and read articles and all that and there was stuff that was new to me!
Thank you! I just do a lot of googling and find small bits of info here and there, usually it'll be some old obscure website that has the best info
houdini has been in my head for weeks
6:52 glass half full of wine 😂😂😂😂
You are a gem 💎 sir 🎶🎤🖤☀️
Really good info and video, only issue is the audio/narration
Thanks! Yeah this was one of my first videos so the voiceover isn't great
this is so well researched! shout out to wikipedia!
Lol
Obviously it helps that he can sing.
Saw the Dee Dee Dums on knew Years Eve , Norfolk Hotel. 15 years ago
That's wild! Must have been crazy to watch them get so famous later on
Great video! I think his father died while he was recording sundown syndrome in 2009, btw.
Oh okay, I knew it was in 2009 but I didn't realize what point in the year he died. I just realized the timeline is a little confusing in that part of the video because I'm talking about him recording Innerspeaker, then I jump back and mention the first EP and sundown syndrome. Thanks for the correction, and thanks for watching!
@@audioeats No worries, keep on making videos like these, they're very intresting
@@someguymakingvideoz9854 Thank you, I will! Feel free to let me know if there are any artists you'd like me to make a video on
Hold up I can’t find anything on this Pigeonhole song, can you help me out?
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Parker_(musician)
It's in the very last paragraph of the "Other projects" section, but it doesn't look like there's much info on the internet about it

Some people in the comments say they got it in a Tame Impala torrent, but some people got it in torrents of other artists. I guess it might not be a confirmed thing, the drums do sound like Tame Impala drums to me but everything else is pretty vague.
this is great, but you sound very uninterested in what you're talking about. I know that's not the intention, but wanted to make you aware of it in case it's something you want to address in the future.
That's a fair observation. I'm very interested in this stuff which is why I make these videos, but I do find it difficult to add inflection to my voice while reading a script/recording one sentence at a time. I have a fairly monotone voice in general, but I do sound a little more animated when I'm talking normally, it just comes through differently when reading out loud vs regular talking. Hopefully it's something I will get better at over time! And thank you for watching!
@@audioeats Do you, dawg 👊🏿
Did you tame impala is only one dude
Yeah only Kevin makes and owns the music but they play as a band live
@@audioeats I was making that joke Ik lol
@@nateborner8229oh lol whoops 😂
Are the band members long term? ...or just contracted musicians? This approach seems questionable if long term.
@@StevenMW Yeah they're all long term, Jay Watson and Dom Simper have been with Kevin since the Dee Dee Dums days in 2007. Julien Barbagallo has been with them since 2012, and Cam Avery has been with them since 2013. The only new-ish member is Rafael Lazaro-Colon who joined in 2019. They've only had 2 members leave - Nick Allbrook (who is a member of Pond) left in 2013 and Loren Humphrey who was only with them for a year in 2019 filling in for Rafael. I would imagine they all get paid pretty well since they're entitled to their cut of the live shows, Kevin is just the one who owns the rights to all the music.
He's pretty good at ripping off other peoples music
What instances are you referring to?
@Slam Jackson You think???🤣🤣🤣
I listened to Dungen, but can’t really hear the similarities. Sounds so different
@@audioeats Elephant has "Roll Over Lay Down" all over it and also a huge chunk of "Rock and Roll Part 1 & 2"....so close.
@@Cityzen1-p1n I hear the similarities in the drum pattern to rock & roll pt 2 and it's possible that's where Kevin got the idea, but I wouldn't call that stealing, just drawing inspiration. You can't copyright a drum pattern, only a drum recording. For roll over and lay down, they both have that choppy guitar riff but that's about it, they're in totally different keys and don't sound similar melodically. Really all music draws inspiration from other music, and every song is just a compilation of a lot of ideas that have been inspired by other peoples work. In my eyes (and the law), stealing would be using an uncleared sample or straight up copying a melody.
