Tame Impala brought the house down at Barclays Center on Halloween night, resurrecting a fan-favorite song that hadn't been played live in seven years. Kevin Parker's psychedelic rock band performed the rarity "Sundown Syndrome," originally released as their debut single in 2009.
The moment came midway through the third night of a four-night sold-out run at the arena, with Parker and his touring band dressed in costumes paying homage to Parker's early "scarf-era" aesthetic. The crowd was electric, singing along to the iconic track that had been missing from tour sets since 2018.
But the evening took an unexpected turn when comedian Eric Andre made a surprise cameo on the show's bathroom cam. Parker has long included a backstage toilet feed in his tours, and this time, Andre took over the screen, sharing a quick kiss with Parker and eliciting laughter and cheers from the crowd.
The Deadbeat Tour has been full of surprises, including the debut of several new tracks and a cover of Justice's "D.A.N.C.E." The run supports Parker's latest album, Deadbeat, which debuted at No. 1 on six different rankings. It also landed in the top 10 on the Billboard 200 chart and broke multiple sales records.
Deadbeat is Parker's first release for Columbia Records after signing with the label in July. According to a press statement announcing the album, it was inspired by the Western Australia rave scene. The Deadbeat Tour continues its final Brooklyn date on Friday before heading to Toronto and beyond.

I'm literally shaking over here thinking about that Eric Andre surprise! Like what even is happening?! 
Parker's a genius for including those bathroom cam feeds in the first place tho, it's always entertaining. But seriously, Tame Impala is killing it on tour right now - "Sundown Syndrome" brought back so many memories and I'm loving the new tracks they're playing. Kevin Parker's dedication to his fans is everything 
! He's bringing back those old-school "scarf-era" vibes and it's SO iconic 
. And can we talk about how adorable Eric Andre crashed the bathroom cam?! 
that was such a sweet surprise. But seriously, have you listened to Deadbeat? It's like, totally out of this world 
I mean, who else could make an album inspired by the Western Australia rave scene and still manage to create something so timeless? 
what a crazy moment! i love how Kevin Parker just rolls with it and makes it part of the show 
it's like he's saying "you know what, let's make this weird and wonderful" 
anyway, it's clear Deadbeat is killing it - 4 sold-out shows already and a debut album at no. 1 on 6 different rankings 
that Justice cover was also super cool, but i'm glad they played Sundown Syndrome too - that song always gets the crowd going 
. But seriously, Tame Impala's Deadbeat Tour is giving me all the vibes... Sundown Syndrome brought back so many memories, it's like revisiting an old favorite 
. And that surprise cameo from Eric Andre? Genius move, Kevin! You're making this tour one for the books 
- I mean, who else can make a fan-favorite come back like that? 
And that album release was just the icing on the cake... Deadbeat is killing it, debuting at No. 1 and breaking records everywhere! 
️. But seriously, Sundown Syndrome live again is giving me all the feels 
. Anyways, can't wait to see what's next from this psychedelic rock genius 
!
and "Deadbeat" is already doing really well, i mean who doesn't love psychedelic rock? 
. I love how Parker always includes those backstage vids in his tours, it's like a little extra something just for us fans 
. And can we talk about Sundown Syndrome, man?! It's been ages since we've heard it live and it still gives me all the feels
