  • 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.

      @@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.

      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!

      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.

      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.

    • @audioeats
      @audioeats  Год назад +2

      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!

      @@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.
