Read it on paper for that old-school KISS vibe. It sounds a bit like if the Beatles were very much more steeped in the psychedelia phase they went through-but with a little bit of grunge guitar on there, too."įor more from Tweed-Simmons-about shooting Family Jewels and his upcoming gig in Richmond-see the feature story in this week's issue of the Georgia Straight. And there's this band called Tame Impala that's out, and the singer's voice is the spitting image of John Lennon. And I've always been a big White Stripes/Jack White fan. "I can't say enough good things about those two. "Anybody who knows me knows that I'm a huge Black Keys fan," he explains. But he doesn't spend too much of his listening time getting lost in the '70s. When it comes to his dad's music, Tweed-Simmons says he likes the early KISS albums the best, and that he's particularly fond of the 1975 Dressed to Kill LP. "Like if I saw Jimmy Page's nephew, I don't think I would care," he adds, "but if I saw him I would freak out, of course, because he's the one who made the music that I connect to." But I didn't think anyone would actually give a fuck about the show, because I do not care about my musical heroes' family members, you know what I mean? I do this for a living because it was offered to me at a young age and I enjoy being financially independent, so that was my reason for doing it. 'Cause I didn't think that would be the case. At the ARIA Music Awards of 2019, Parker was. It was written and produced by Kevin Parker, and was his first single since ' The Less I Know the Better ' in 2015.

"We can walk around at night and sneak by," says the 23-year-old son of rock god Simmons and actress-model Shannon Tweed, "but sometimes we do get swamped, and I'm not quite used to it, actually. Patience (Tame Impala song) ' Patience ' is a song by Australian psychedelic music project Tame Impala.

For one thing, as he explained to me in a phone call last week, people get a lot more excited about seeing the costar of Gene Simmons Family Jewels here than they do in Tinseltown. That’s a very good point.When Nick Tweed-Simmons comes to Metro Vancouver-as he will this Friday (June 1) for a concert at the River Rock Show Theatre with his little sister Sophie-things are quite different than they are in his Hollywood hometown. In October of last year, those speculations were confirmed. Fans could smell a new album on the horizon after Tame Impala’s Patience and Borderline were released as singles in March and April of 2019 respectively. Well, people get attached to one version. To some fans, maybe, but Tame Impala’s fourth studio album, The Slow Rush, was finally released on Feb. What’s inherently wrong with an artist changing a song after it’s been released? Are there rules that we’re not able to look past because we’re stuck in our ways? What if releasing a song was fluid? What if there wasn’t this set period of time when an artist works on a piece of art and they pick a day to share it with the world and it can’t be changed after that?
