‘DEADBEAT’ Delivered a Raw Communal Party With Tame Impala and The Dare in Brooklyn
Last week, Spotify and Columbia Records transformed Pier 4 at the Brooklyn Army Terminal into DEADBEATS, a stripped-down open-air gathering that put music and community at the center.
Held to mark the release of Tame Impala’s new album, DEADBEAT, the event blended sonic exploration with a raw communal energy and brought fans together in celebration of the new music. With DJ sets from Yaeji, SEEESOOOOO, the band’s frontman Kevin Parker, and The Dare, the event convened more than 1,000 of Tame Impala’s top fans on Spotify for an afternoon that celebrated sound over spectacle.
DEADBEATS wasn’t your typical gathering. Drawing inspiration from bush doofs, early grunge, and underground festival culture, fans turned the Brooklyn pier into a dance floor as the sun dropped behind the skyline.
Kevin took the decks with a wide-ranging set that kept the crowd moving, blending popular tracks off beloved albums with new music from his latest one. The Dare closed out the night with an extra jolt of energy, fusing punk attitude with downtown cool.
