Perth psychedelic rockers Tame Impala have been named as support for MGMT’s sold out, one night only performance in Sydney on the 6th April.

Tame Impala’s first major mark on the music scene was their self-titled EP released in 2008 which spawned the hit single Half Full Glass of Wine. Their initial success paved the way for a nationwide tour in 2009 as well as numerous festival appearances including Southbound, Pyramid Rock and this year’s Big Day Out.

Tame Impala’s debut LP, tentatively titled InnerSpeaker, is scheduled for release later this year.

Audience members at the Metro Theatre show will be treated to a preview of MGMT’s latest songs taken from their upcoming sophomore release, titled Congratulations, along with enjoyable crowd favourites from Oracular Spectacular.

Congratulations is currently streaming live on MGMT’s official website (www.whoismgmt.com) and the response has been highly positive.  The album is due for release in Australia on Friday April 9.

The addition of Tame Impala promises nothing short of a musical feast sure to delight any indie-pop fanatic.

Unfortunately and not surprisingly, tickets to the show sold out within mere minutes. We just wanted to give you the good news that Tame Impala are on the bill.
