So how do TAME IMPALA finish up their show at the Metro last weekend? They bring out Craig Nicholls from The Vines and pump out a version of "Get Free." Check it out below - it's pretty raw!

JACQUES RENAULT

We seem to give props to Future Classic pretty regularly but that's only because they keep putting on great events. This time around they are bringing out New York disco legend Jacques Renault. Renault is signed to the uber - cool DFA Records and has remixed Moby, LCD Soundsystem, Chairlift, Lost Valentinos and Canyons. The party goes down 29 May at The Civic with Andy Webb (Disco Delicious/Death Strobe) and Future Classic DJ's providing the support.
