Tame Impala - Why Kevin Parker Is Known As Tame Impala

In what some people may find confusing, Kevin Parker is Tame Impala, but what differs between the two of them? Well, we have finally found out!

[@coriderlukeyboy72]

the fact that he can explain for the 4000th time that tame impala is just one guy while not showing visible annoyance is amazing

[@NikkoNikko98]

I thought the same 😂

[@kittervision]

lol right? old news!

[@Brodzzzzz]

Literally...

[@xandergilbert3697]

You can tell he's starting to get annoyed lol. Or maybe I'm projecting

[@MrAdomus]

I think everyone does that when anyone asks, "Who's Tame Impala?"

[@snoopfrog6966]

bro the way kevin is showing his anxiety to being on tv is legitimately a carbon copy of how i act when im anxious, makes me love him even more 💀💀

[@grifosaurus9511]

I thought of that too xD

[@seanbrown6711]

to be fait the bs theyre asking him i would be cringing too. They could have asked more about his music and what his talents are being used for but whatever,..

Nah he's booted tf up, geekin

[@luxrevyou777]

My god, they did the right thing

[@larkstonguesinaspic4814]

Kev really looks like someone who's having the best time of his life. Touring the world and putting on some amazing shows with his friends, being a new dad, making some great music... So relaxed and chill.

[@NikkoNikko98]

As a fan you just gotta be happy for him, I wish him the best :,)

[@kittervision]

he deserves it!

[@eroyns2065]

He’s a great guy

[@1292liam]

always so chill, very inspirational. Australians are born with sunshine in their blood though (IMO IE the ones Ive met), so it helps things too.

[@cover-me]

Basically he may be chilled but look at the body language here in this studio. Classic anxiety.

Not the music? Just how you relate to him?

[@pacshb]

"Musical Genius" I mean, they're not wrong

[@dieselclockwork]

He’s literally the reason I started making music. I make hip-hop but I produce all my own beats and vocals and lyrics etc independently. Kevin is my greatest inspiration and I love how humble he’s always stayed :)

[@NMPIN]

Is that the Jebadiah Kev? With Vanessa on bass? Leaving home? From the 90s Jebadiah who used to tour the great Southern with Beaverloop, Flanders, Fuzztruncheon Ammonia and Humbug? Google won’t tell me

[@wrd980]

I saw Tame Impala at Jakarta a few years ago and then I was lucky enough to meet Kevin in person at the Jakarta airport the following morning as we were both flying out. He came across as being very humble, cool and polite.

[@sibusisomagagula324]

The lady in red , looks like she's willing to risk it all for Kevin - she keeps giving him the look

[@serenagilbert1483]

frrrrrr

[@sampilsbury9415]

I had the pleasure of being in the supporting act opening for Tame Impala in Switzerland. Backstage he was very quiet and chill, the other band members definitely seemed more gregarious. He seemed like a humble guy. Which considering he’s a genius…

[@Am3rIca16]

wow. how does one open for them? did you reach out to them?

[@TextuaryEwe]

and it probably feels like the whole world is watching kevin. I couldn’t imagine having an interview and these people already know everything about my personal life.

[@superultragiggachigga]

So true. It’s probably feel odd. I wonder if that’s how celebrities feel when they date? Like is it weird that most of the world already knows or can find out anything about your personal life.

Always love to hear Kevin'a side about things such as "Tame Impala. " He explains it very well. Very simple.

[@summersbrother]

When the subtitle popped up as “musical genius” I laughed out loud and then was like “oh wait that’s true”

[@drivewithbishop4426]

Currents is arguably one of the top 5 alternative albums of all time. The fact that it's only him makes it even more amazing.

Couldn't agree more.

overrated album

he looks so uncomfortable, and I don't blame him tbh

[@CosmiKKarma]

Man I hate interviewers for news channels. I feel like there were so many loaded questions in this clip. Like the one guy asking about the visual warnings, or how their questions are really asking if he’s not enjoying fatherhood. They’re probably upset that they have no power at work and Kevin gets to live spiritually free!

[@NotDingse]

to clarify; someone had a seizure at one of his shows so he felt it necessary to warn fans about the flashing visuals at his shows.

[@CosmiKKarma]

@@NotDingse Why else would you give the warning? I get it. What I don't get is that they have to advertise a negative aspect of the show for something that happened to a couple people. I'm all for being safe, but the whole interview was closer to an attack where he had to defend himself instead of talking about the beauty of the show.

[@NotDingse]

@@CosmiKKarma pretty sure Kevin agreed to talk about the topics.
