Considering that many have compared Kevin Parker vocal styling to that of John Lennon, I was really hoping Tame would cover “Imagine” or “Strawberry Fields”. A track that will inevitably (and hopefully) be on Tame’s fourth studio album that many have speculated will drop by the end of August, “Patience” is another savory and easily digestible tune that is chock-filled with Parker’s airy vocals. Setlist.įrom that explosive opening, Tame went into their second song of the night, “Patience” which is one of two newly released singles that Parker has put out in 2019. As the stage production showered the many happy faces surrounding the ground floor with confetti and bright lights, it made for quite the satisfying opening which was a precursor to how the rest of the show would unfold. Nothing could compete with the blasts of confetti that blasted from multiple cannons situated around the pit during the meatiest drop of the song (any fan can easily tell you when that part is). Parker had things off to a hot start and kicked things up with the dazzling stage production. That song is easily one of Tame’s more recognizable tracks to date
As the rest of the band settled in, the group opened with that familiar synth intro to “Let it Happen”. Walking out on stage, Parker greeted the audience with his patented reserved, “shy guy” smile and wave. You can imagine my elation when the same song was introduced during the opening of Friday’s spectacle. For me, getting to see Tame Implala at last year’s Pitchfork Summer Festival, especially when they opened with “Let it Happen”, was one of my year’s concert going highlights. Still riding high from the success of 2015’s Currents – the album that really pushed Parker into the mainstream limelight and introduced Tame to a plethora of new fans- I was more than eager to hear a mix of both old and newer material. This was clearly exemplified Friday when Parker brought his talents to Toronto’s Budweiser Stage, easily selling out the outdoor amphitheater of over 16,000. Going from just a side project for Parker as he worked as a law clerk during his teenage years to arguably one of the most recognizable band names in today’s music scene, Tame Impala is both a commercial and critical darling of the music industry. TORONTO, ON- Ever since 2010, when Kevin Parker’s solo project Tame Impala graced the indie airwaves with his debut LP titled InnerSpeaker, Parker’s brainchild has progressively, and much deservingly, gained immense popularity.
