It's also no stranger to a big indie gig with the likes of Arcade Fire, Bon Iver and Blur performing at the venue over the past five years. Saying this, however, The Empress Ballroom is one of the most remarkable venues in the whole country, its fantastic and glorious decor is like stepping back in time and it doesn't go amiss from Parker who frequently remarks on its beauty. It’s not only Tame Impala’s trippy psychedelic rock that was surreal however, just the location itself was enough to boggle the mind, here’s an Australian Rock group who have headlined this years Coachella, play on Glastonbury’s second biggest stage this weekend and yet here they are with 7 lorries worth of equipment and tour buses parked on a side street in Blackpool. The second the opening riff of ‘Let It Happen’ roared through the ballroom the crowd entered a frenzy, the Northern crowd were moshing and throwing themselves closer and closer to the band, who knew psychedelia could be so wild? Parker frequently spoke of high energy and it was noticeable from the off. All we know is that if this Tame Impala collaboration is merely a dream, then for the love of Diana Ross let us sleep.“This gig will go down in Tame Impala history,” said Kevin Parker as the band went into their final number and its fair to say he wasn’t exaggerating. In the meantime, you can listen to the title track and first single off the album while we wait for Thank You to be released into the world later this year. While a Diana Ross and Tame Impala collaboration is yet to be officially confirmed, it does beg the question, can our quaking hearts handle a duo this powerful? Only a night at Club 77 will reveal the answer. She’s really excited to work with Tame Impala and is ecstatic with the track – she can’t wait for fans to hear it." And to that we say, we can't wait either! “She loves reinvention and melting genres together. "Diana might be 77 but she is determined to push musical boundaries and challenge herself,” a source told The Sun. On October 3 NMEreported that we can expect to see a collaboration between Kevin Parker - our home grown psychedelic hero - and Miss Ross as she adores “reinvention” and the opportunity to “melt” musical genres together.
As Diana Ross prepares to launch her first album in 15 years working with the likes of Jack Antonoff, Jimmy Napes, Tayla Parx and Spike Stent, it turns out she may have more in store for us than we initially thought.
