Very interested to see what the kids have come up with.

Is the kid middle right G-man with long hair?

Why should we care what kind of house the record was mixed in?

Talk about padding up their bio.

that looks fucking amazing.

Anything with tim holmes involved is gonna be fucking awesome

God, who doesn't write dumb shit about where their thing was recorded. Think about all the wankers who go to Iceland. Actually, incidentally, with the economy fucked, now would be an excellent time for wankers to record in Iceland!

Looking forward to the record. Indeed, the house looks very sweet indeed.

Anyone coming to the metro tonight?

I would if I had a ticket.

Get one for tomorrow maybe?

i'm trying to give one of the members a vagina, but it's not working... oops

Youse wif tix - Make sure you get there early to see the Sun Blindness, for they are awesome.

And the Silents too, obviously.

How can this band sell out a 1500 capacity venue when they’ve only just released their debut album today? They’ve been touring the same material for a couple of years playing everywhere and everything and yet here they are. It’s not like they’ve released anything that’s all over commercial radio. I know they’re a ‘buzz band’ but it boggles the mind.

They did sell out a couple of corner shows a while back, so I guess seeling out the forum is a logical step from there. They're damn good too, I like 'em.

I would have loved to make it there for the support acts, but unfortunately I had work till 8 which leaves little time for going home, getting changed, eating dinner and making it back out to the venue in time. I'll make an effort to see the supports at their own shows sometime in the near future.

Maybe your band just needs to get a little better dude.

They are a good band with heaps of airplay and industry support. That is your answer.

jebus, these guys must listen to nothing but dungen.

now most of the way through the album... these guys REALLY like dungen. but hey, it's not bad.

The kids love them. Was a huge queue of youngsters in JB HiFi on Saturday waiting to get their stuff signed. Signed! How quaint.

that's actually pretty awesome.

sorry to go on about dungen, but is tame impala music on an tv ad at the moment? for weeks i was thinking how weird it was that someone put dungen on an ad...

Yeah, they are huge Dungen fans

Yeah, how funny is that Crown Casino ad! Yeah, I can totally see those dudes swanning round with the besuited in a luxury hotel and GAMBLING. I hope they got paid trazillions for that.

Wait....crown casino ad? Explain. (I don't watch television)

I watch enough for at least three people...

It's one of the songs from the first ep backgrounding some tossers ''living the high life'' in Melbourne's Crown Casino. I imagine they are rich as kings and are out shopping for gold plated underwear as we speak.

Unfortunately, selling your song to TV etc is one of the only decent sources of income for a band in this country. As this may seem like they are selling their souls, they probably didn't have another option.

Nah, I'm all for it. I'd do it in a second if it wasn't for something completely repugnant. Enough cash for some sweet ass plane tickets, plus a bit of ''exposure'' (vomit).

There are other ways to make money, but they hurt, and can strain relations between band members, particularly if anyone feels a little awkward about seeing the others naked.

Yeah i'd sell my soul if somebody wanted it.

It's an ad for a hotel, rather than the casino.

A hotel ''conveniently located'' right next to the casino.

Perhaps Tame Impala could put all their royalties on black.

Do successful bands even get royalties these days?

Hell yes they do. The best royalties also come from getting played on the tele.

Apparently digital is a steady river of cash these days.

Hells yeah it is. When the Dandy Warhols sold ''Bohemian Like You'' to a car add in the states they built their own recording studio/rehearsal space. That would be amazing.

Thought I'd have a listen to see what all the fuss is about, ain't had much grab me as yet.
Whats a 'good' song to listen to?

I like 'expectations'.

alter ego is my fav.

Hells yeah it is. When the Dandy Warhols sold ''Bohemian Like You'' to a car add in the states they bought TONNES OF COCAINE!

Fixed :)
