Impala

Impala is an American instro rock'n'roll band from Memphis, Tennessee formed in the early 90's. The band originally consisted of guitarist John Stivers, saxophonist Justin Thompson, drummer Jeff Goggans, and Scott Bomar on bass. The group gained national prominence on the strength of their debut album, El Rancho Reverbo, co-produced by Roland Janes. They signed with Estrus Records.
Following the release of Kings of the Strip, Impala toured relentlessly, appearing at a slew of garage rock festivals (including Garage Shock, Sleezefest, Crap Out, and Dixie Fried) and alongside guitar legends Dick Dale and Davie Allen and the Arrows.
Over the past decade, Impala has been featured on numerous occasions in film and on television, most notably for their arrangement of Henry Mancini's "Experiment in Terror," and Duane Eddy's "Stalkin'", as a medley, which appeared in the Chuck Barris biopic Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. The band's current lineup includes trumpeter/keyboardist, former Bobby "Blue" Bland sideman, and Bo-Keys member Marc Franklin.
In 2018 Impala released In the Late Hours on Bomar's Electraphonic Recording imprint. When premiering the song, "The Insomniac", Rolling Stone said it "...combines surf-guitar nostalgia with a minor-key, spy-movie-worthy riffage. Together, those influences form a truly unique sound, one that’s retro without lapsing into mimicry."

Peel played tracks from the group between 1995 and 1996 on his radio programmes. However, after 1996, he never played any of their follow up material on his shows, according to available tracklistings on this site. After Peel's death in 2004, it was later found out that he had a copy of their 'Kings Of The Strip' album in his Record Collection: I.
