Just because Urbanscapes didn’t happen last year doesn’t mean that it won’t happen again.
The much-anticipated creative arts festival is back and first up, they’ve got indie psychedelic rock band Tame Impala making their Malaysian debut in Kuala Lumpur.
Tame Impala is an Australian rock band founded by Kevin Parker in 2007.
The group began as a home recording project for Parker, who writes, records, performs, and produces the music. As a touring act, the project consists of Parker (guitar, vocals), Jay Watson (synthesiser, vocals, guitar), Dominic Simper (guitar, synthesiser), Cam Avery (bass guitar, vocals), and Julien Barbagallo (drums, vocals).
The Perth-based band garnered a wave of steadfast fans and international recognition since the release of their self-titled debut EP in 2008. The album was followed by their sublimely popular albums “Innerspeaker” (2010) and “Lonerism” (2012). In 2015, they returned to the music scene with “Currents”, which was described as “Best New Music” by the highly critical music site, Pitchfork.
Tame Impala’s live shows are often applauded as not just musically stellar, but also as an experience that is mind-blowing, saturated with simplistic beauty, and boundless creativity.
Having graced massive stages like Glastonbury, Coachella, and Laneway, the band will perform in Malaysia as part of Urbanscapes 2016’s month-long of activities.

Urbanscapes is one of the longest-running creative arts festivals in Malaysia. It was initially founded with the aim to bring together Malaysian creative communities from the fields of music, the arts, design, film and other creative disciplines.
The community-centric festival has now grown to include the best from around the world and is built on the belief that great things happen when people come together.
