Just as summer's come to an end (in some places), Stereogum have taken it upon themselves to compile an extensive list of the '40 Best New Bands of 2010' in alphabetical order and featuring Modular's very own starlets Tame Impala and ceo. But this is no ordinary list - it comes complete with bonus mixtape, packing a 'side A' and 'B' for authenticity's sake.
Be sure to check out the list and score some the killer tunes, here.

Tame Impala Announce Australian Spring Tour October 2010
Perth's global gallivanters Tame Impala are fresh back from their virgin voyage around the USA in time to announce their Spring Australian Tour. Since the recent release of their debut record, InnerSpeaker, there's been no rest for the Perth four-piece, who walked off the stage of their last Australian show and onto a jetplane bound for the states.
In the US they supported MGMT at a slew of sold out shows everywhere from Santa Cruz to Salt Lake City and played sold out headline shows of their own in NYC, LA and Chicago. Their record was released internationally to a most excellent reception from the press, with Pitchfork Media awarding InnerSpeaker "Best New Music" status and an 8.5 score, while The Fader called their debut album "a glorious haze of echo-heavy, dreamy psychedelic rock".
The 2nd and current single from InnerSpeaker is "Lucidity". A tearaway, road tripping highlight from the record, "Lucidity" showcases Tame Impala at their unhinged, shredding best. By all accounts this trip Tame Impala are on will not be stopping anytime soon, with Splendour In The Grass acting as their homecoming, a European jaunt just over the horizon, this immense October tour and an encore lap of the US mooted for late in the year.
Tickets are on-sale Thursday July 18, and as a special offer to live show fans the InnerSpeaker album will be available to bundle in digital or physical version with each to ticket to the upcoming tour.
Roll on!

For those who have pre-ordered Tame Impala's InnerSpeaker on vinyl, we apologise for the delay. Due to unforeseen production issues, we are still waiting on its arrival. The good news is that we are estimating it will be in stock by the end of July. Thank you for your patience and supporting the band.

Kevin and Nick chat to Nylon TV about the ideal cover song choice and much more in a basement in NYC. No biggie.

Tame Impala
Tame Impala are Kevin Parker, Dom Simper and Jay Watson. The trio came together in 2007 after floating around various Perth outfits in one bastard form or another and hit upon their current steez as Tame Impala over a shared appreciation of drum beats, Leaf Hound and the challenging confines of living off $5 a week. The Tame Impala sound is one equally informed by The Beatles as it is beat poetry, which is made undeniably clear on their self-titled EP and will no doubt be reinforced and further explored on their not-too-far-away debut album.
