As bush doof enthusiasts already know, Tame Impala just released the generally fairly underwhelming album Deadbeat last week. Kevin Parker’s efforts to promote the record have revolved around DJ gigs more than actual live performances. But Tame Impala have an arena tour coming up, and so Parker has to remind everyone that he can still put on a show. Last week, Tame Impala performed the singles “Loser” and “Dracula” for the first time at their Tiny Desk Concert. Now, they’ve taken part in A24’s brand-new live performance series Sound Check At Cherry Lane Theatre, and they’ve taken the opportunity to play the album track “My Old Ways” live for the first time.
