The signing was soon followed by the release on their self-titled debut EP in September 2008. To transfer these recordings to a live-stage, Parker enlisted the help of Dominic Simper (bass) and Jay Watson (drums) and began playing at some local gigs. This brought interest from a number of labels and eventually, he signed a worldwide deal with the independent Modular Recordingsin July 2008. Tame Impala emerged in 2007 as a Kevin Parker home-recording project in this period and he posted a number of tracks on Myspace. Parker played in a number of bands, one being the Dee Dee Dums, a rock duo that consisted of Parker (guitar) and Luke Epstein (drums). The origins of the band can be found in the Perth music scene. The band name "Tame Impala" is a reference to the impala, a medium-sized antelope. The band's third album, Currents, will be released on 17 July 2015.
The group's 2012 follow-up, Lonerism, was also acclaimed, reaching platinum status in Australia and receiving a Grammy Award nomination for Best Alternative Music Album. Tame Impala debuted in 2010 with the release of Innerspeaker, which was certified gold in Australia and well received by critics. Previously signed to Modular Recordings, Tame Impala is signed to Interscope Records. As a touring act, the project consists of Parker (guitar, vocals), Jay Watson (synthesiser, vocals, guitar), Dominic Simper (guitar, synthesiser), Cam Avery (bass guitar, vocals), and Julien Barbagallo (drums, vocals). The group began as a home recording project for Parker, who writes, records, performs, and produces the music.
