10 QUESTIONS: KNOTORYUS INTERVIEWS TAME IMPALA

We’re kicking off a new series of 10 questions to people whose stuff we really like. First up: Tame Impala.

Tame Impala are from Australia, make fuzz-rich garage psychedelica and dream pop with facemelting riffs: perfect driving music, strutting music, business time music, cooking music, make out music, rocking out music.. you know: good music.

We’ve posted about them before (HERE all the way back in Feb 2009. And HERE back in 2008 -courtesy of the Soulwax brotherhood).

Here’s my favourite Tame Impala Song:

TAME IMPALA, YOUR 10 QUESTIONS START NOW

1. What are you worried about these days?
An album coming out that sounds exactly like the one I’m working on.

2. What’s your vice?
Nasal spray, that nose clearing spray they tell you not to use for more than 3 days, been on that twice a day for a few months now. I just need to be able to smell the world or I freak out.

3. Favourite power ballad.
Take the Long Way Home – Supertramp

4. Favourite stadium rock facemelter.
Babe I’m Gonna Leave you – Led Zeppelin

“I hope that you’re the one, if not, you are the prototype” - Outkast

6. Tame Impala is here to save the world from…

Motivation

7. Favourite unsigned band.

Not sure if they’re signed, the singer of My Bee’s Garden gave me their album and it’s right up my dream pop alley.

8. What’s the weirdest compliment anyone ever made about your music?

“I love it, you don’t know what you’re doing, you don’t know what you’re doing, I love it”

Tom – Kasabian
9. Got any famous fans yet?
I’m not going to name drop! Except the last thing I said…

10. Favourite line to say goodbye:

“Don’t worry we tour a lot I’ll be back pretty soon, I think, maybe.”
