Fab Three psyched up

Sean Lennon says Melbourne band Tame Impala sounds like his dad, Beatle John Lennon

By DANIELLE McGRANE

TAME Impala could be for-given for being sick of Beatlescomparisons, but when itcomes from John Lennon’sson it’s got to be taken asa compliment.

‘‘I was speaking to SeanLennon and he told me Isound like his dad,’’ saysKevin Parker, Tame Impala’sleader. ‘‘So I guess if anyone’sgoing to tell me I sound likeJohn Lennon I guess he’s theone with some sort of auth-ority on it.’’

Parker, who hails fromPerth, is bemused by the FabFour comparisons.

‘‘I just don’t think we soundlike them so much . . . but I’velistened back to my vocalssometimes and gone, ‘Ohyeah, that kind of sounds likethe Beatles’.

‘‘I’ve never thought I soundlike John Lennon in partic-ular,’’ he adds, which putshim at odds with the Beatle’sown son.

‘‘We played some showswith him (Sean Lennon) inAmerica. He’s a trippy kindof dude,’’ Parker says.

‘‘Trippy’’ is also a good de-scription of the psychedelicmelodies the ARIA award-winning band are known forproducing. Their 2012 albumLonerism falls into the‘‘hypno-groove’’ genre. Thinkthe Beatles during their RaviShankar period.

Comparisons aside, TameImpala’s hypno-grooves cre-ate a natural high that are alltheir own.

Parker says that’s ‘‘a small

part of the idea’’ behind creat-ing the music.

‘‘I definitely think thatone of the purposes of psy-chedelic music is to havea kind of an effect on youthat’s like you’re on drugsonly you can’t have anydrugs, or you don’t likedrugs,’’ Parker says.

‘‘Sometimes I get stonedwhen I’m making music,sometimes I get drunk. Some-times I get both. SometimesI’m completely sober.

‘‘In the end it doesn’t reallymatter. The only thing thatmatters is that you’re gettingsomething out of it, or thatit’s moving you.’’

With three 2013 ARIAawards (Album of the Year,Best Group and Best Rock al-bum) and a 2014 GrammyAward nomination (Best Al-ternative Music Album) thegroup are clearly moving theright people.

But Parker doesn’t think2014 will be Tame Impala’s

year at the Grammys, as theybattle bands such as VampireWeekend and The Nationalfor the award.

‘‘We’re up against bandsthat people have actuallyheard of. People aren’t goingto be confused if VampireWeekend win, but if theyread out ‘Tame Impala’everyone’s going to go, ‘Whothe f*** is Tame Impala?’’’

While the group starts tomake ripples in internationalwaters, the waves of success

at home have propelled themtowards one of Australia’sbiggest festivals, Big Day Out.But Parker is modest aboutthat, too, saying he’s excitedat the prospect of meeting hisown music idols there.

‘‘I was actually a massiveDeftones fan (also to playBDO) when I was in highschool, so that’s going to be atrip down memory lane,’’ hesays. ‘‘Hopefully I’ll get tomeet them, that would beeven better.’’

Her perfectly goodheart on top againLOS ANGELES: TaylorSwift has been named themost charitable star of 2013by charity website DoSomething.org.

The 24-year-old singer hastopped the site’s ‘‘CelebsGone Good’’ list for thesecond year running.

Beyonce Knowles wasthird, with editors citingher work for Goodwill andChime for Change.

Late Fast & Furious starPaul Walker followed atfourth. Musical duo Mack-lemore & Ryan Lewis roun-ded out the top five.

Driver’s intelligence fails dameLONDON: Dame Judi Denchhas told how she was oncelate for lunch with the boss ofMI6 — because the driversent by Britain’s IntelligenceService could not find whereto pick her up.

The actress, who famouslyplayed spy boss M in the

James Bond movies for a17-year span, had been in-vited along to the famousLondon HQ to meet herreal-life counterpart SirDavid Spedding.

She was issued with adriver whose bungling led toher being 45 minutes late.

‘‘I was invited to lunch (atMI6) by Sir David Spedding.They asked me for 12.30 for 1and I said ‘‘Yes, my driver . . .‘‘ and they said ‘‘No, no, notyour driver, our driver.

‘‘He couldn’t find me . . . Iwas so late for lunch — em-barrassingly late.’’
