Top 10 Artists Playing At Bonnaroo 2013

8. Tame Impala

TameImpala

Tame Impala is essentially a one-man-band with Kevin Parker recording the albums almost completely by himself. The man€™s songwriting and composition skills are impeccable. What€™s great about his music is how it takes the psychedelic rock of the 1960s and updates it for modern times. You have the fuzzed out guitars, the John Lennon-like vocals and scores of piercing synthesizers. Tame Impala belongs on your record shelf right next to The Flaming Lips and Jimi Hendrix.

When playing live, Kevin brings in a full band to back him up and the results are just as propulsive as you can imagine. It€™s perfect summertime music and will fit perfectly for their late Sunday afternoon timeslot. It will make you feel like you are living in a completely different decade.
