6/28 Review: Tame Impala @ The Echo

My friend from Brooklyn and I went to this free show on Monday. The vocals were crisp and less distorted than on the album. Overall great energy and the crowd was totally feeling it. The crowd was made of the typical mix of big messy hair, plaid, and skinny jean wearing indie kids, along with a few random old guys. My friend said NYC shows are a lot more homogenous and was surprised by how diverse shows in LA are. I was surprised by how many tall guys (lots of guys well over 6'2) were in the audience. Red Stripe ($6) seemed to be the tasty beverage of the night. Luckily, we found a spot up front, just left to the stage behind some shorter people. Watch out for these guys, I have a feeling they're going to be doing big things.

Crowd highlights: White dude in a red beanie and white button down - sweet dance moves
