Tame Impala

In the live recording of "Be Above It" from November 30, 2011, Tame Impala was riding high on the wave of their critically acclaimed debut album, "Innerspeaker," which had dropped just earlier that year. This album was a game-changer for the band, ushering in a new era of psychedelic rock that resonated with both critics and fans alike. By the time of the Brooklyn show, Tame Impala had begun to capture the attention of a growing audience, blending dreamy soundscapes with groovy rhythms. The atmosphere was electric, especially with the fierce nor'easter storm raging outside, adding an extra layer of intensity to the performance. Interestingly, this live show was part of their first extensive US tour, a leap that would solidify their reputation as a mesmerizing live act. It's fascinating how these early performances laid the groundwork for their future success, setting the stage for the evolution of their sound.
