Tame Impala + Stardeath and White Dwarfs + Kuroma

Though MGMT may have had the more famously publicized psych-rock turn of the year, Tame Impala's latest, Innerspeaker, likely betters its former tourmates' Congratulations. It's a record that rides a fuzz-soaked tidal wave of melodic psych-rock into massive anthems that, dare we say it, channel John Lennon at times. Catch the band before it's entertaining much, much larger audiences. Flaming Lips franchise act Stardeath and White Dwarfs plays first.
