Tame Impala Revives ‘Sundown Syndrome’ at Halloween Barclays Show as Eric Andre Crashes Bathroom Cam

Deadbeat marks Kevin Parker’s first Columbia release, powering six No. 1 Billboard debuts alongside a sold-out tour kickoff.

Overview

  • The 2009 single “Sundown Syndrome” was performed live for the first time in seven years, returning to the set after last appearing in 2018.
  • Eric Andre surprised the arena by taking over the backstage bathroom-cam bit and sharing a quick on-camera kiss with Parker.
  • The Halloween performance was night three of a four-night sold-out run at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, with the band costumed in a nod to Parker’s early-2010s scarf-era look.
  • The Deadbeat Tour opened in Brooklyn with several new songs and a cover of Justice’s “D.A.N.C.E.” and now heads to Toronto.
  • Deadbeat entered the Billboard 200 at No. 4 and debuted at No. 1 on six charts, with press materials citing inspiration from Western Australia’s rave scene.
