MGMT + Tame Impala

“There’s not really any new bands that make me go, “Wow! This is great!” and this was the first time this had happened to me in a while. We toured with them and they were kindred spirits, but way cooler than us!” — Andrew VanWyngarden

“As soon as we met them it was like we met our brothers from another continent.” — Ben Goldwasser

“If I see a band I love, I always think, “They’ve got the right idea, we’re doing it wrong. I gotta sell my shit out and do it like them.”… MGMT is probably a big one, because, before we even knew them, we fell in love with their album, and their pop sensibility had a big effect on us.” — Kevin Parker

“Man, these guys play their instruments better than any other people their age that I’ve ever seen.” — Jay Watson
