Watch Tame Impala Perform New Single ‘Patience’ On ‘Saturday Night Live’
The band also performed a brand new song titled ‘Borderline’ during their on-screen slot.
Prior to headlining the Coachella Festival, Tame Impala made their Saturday Night Live debut as the musical guest during the Sandra Oh-hosted episode. You can watch their live version of ‘Patience’ above.
The indie-rock band led by Kevin Parker opened their set with ‘Patience,’ their first single since 2015’s ‘The Less I Know the Better.’ During the performance of the ‘Song You Need To Know’, Parker shook a maraca as the group blistered through the song under bursts of kaleidoscopic lights.
Tame Impala later returned to the Saturday Night Live stage to debut of a new song, ‘Borderline.’ Parker sang the cut through by way of a breezy call and response.
The group is expected to follow-up its 2015 album Currents with a record this year, though nothing has been officially announced. Tame Impala’s new music follows Parker’s collaboration with Theophilus London last year for their joint project Theo Impala.
In addition to Coachella, Tame Impala will headline Shaky Knees Festival in Atlanta, GA (May 5), Corona Capital (May 11), Boston Calling (May 25) and Barcelona’s Primavera Festival (May 31), Glastonbury (June 26), Lollapalooza (August 01) and more with festival and headline dates planned throughout 2019.
