Just thought I should specify that Wolfmother were from Sydney, and heavily influenced the breakthrough success of the Perth Psych Rock scene. After watching back I realised it might have sounded like I said Wolfmother were from Perth which I know is definitely not the case, but it came out like that in the way I edited the video I think.
That first Wolfmother record is still a great listen. It's interesting looking back that that album was only 2 years before the first Tame Impala LP released. They seem much farther apart than just those two years.
Wolfmother's debut LP came out 2005. Half Full Glass of Wine was Tame's first single which came out in 2008. I remember hearing that song for the first time on Rage and thinking that this was the new Wolfmother. In 2010 they released innerspeaker. So it wasn't quite 2 years but yeh, in a few years time Tame had officially taken the baton from Wolfmother.
I'd argue the real father of psych pop in perth was Marty (or Mardi) Picasso who's 1980s band Picasso twins (Look up "Mardi Picasso Pop go the Mardies" on youtube) had a huge influence on the more arty fringes of the indy rock scene. Marty , an english expat who brought over a huge influence from the london psych pop scene of the 70s and 80s, lost his battle with cancer about a decade but he was in my opinion a huge influence thats been terribly neglected in histories of perth psychedelic. Oh, and to blow my own trumpet a bit, give Stargoon's Small Explosions a listen. Not strictly psych, but its what people keep calling us and Marty was a bit of mentor to me and we do try and keep his legacy alive.

@@solitudeausmusic It's the Aus music equivalent of the Pyramids / woolly mammoth crossover
I remember listening wolfmother debut in repeat when i was 16 and still hold up. I migth move to australia just because the music scene is so strong
And even in Sydney there are bands like The Lazy Eyes, who have combined The Beatles songwriting characteristics with King Gizz.
I have a video suggestion for you?
A video about the Basement birds, the short lived supergroup of Kav Temperly, Josh Pyke and Kevin Mitchell
