Cage The Elephant - A Day In The Life of Video Feature and Camden Crawl
April 24, 2008, 10:05 PM | |
 |  | | | Bowling Green, Kentucky's finest, Cage The Elephant stopped by the Altsounds HQ during their recent UK tour. They performed two brand new, exclusive and unheard acoustic tracks and chatted to Altsounds.com about life and music.
The 8 minute feature was Produced and Directed by Chris Maguire (Ben's Brother, Fiction Plane, Fightstar) and was filmed after spending a complete day with the wild and crazy Cage The Elephant boys and showcases the real personalities that make up the band! Discover all the glorious grit and grime and find out exactly what happens backstage at a Cage The Elephant show after they have successfully torn the venue apart with their unique and raucous stage show.
There is a completely exclusive Altsounds.com acoustic track which underlies the feature, showcasing a completely different and more intimate side to what people have come to expect from this Kentucky quintet. The track "Cover Me Again" was written and arranged one day prior to it being recorded and produced at Screamadelica Studios in Cardiff and subtly demonstrates one of Matt's biggest influences, Bob Dylan. For critics that have, or are looking to pigeon hole Cage The Elephant as "just another dumb rock band" this 8 minute insight shatters all of these pre-conceived opinions and proves there is a lot more to Cage The Elephant than meets the eye.
With a slew of UK dates ahead of them and many more audiences to scintillate, Cage The Elephant prove that "There Ain't no Rest for The Wicked"!
Cage The Elephant will also be hitting up the Camden Crawl over the weekend. Chris Maguire was asked to direct and animate a 45 second looping video only art installation that will be shown in it's full glory across 8 TV's all weekend at the Camden Crawl. We have also included this video which can be viewed by clicking the image below to give all you Cage The Elephant fans a quick sneak peek into what you can expect to see from this Art Installation this weekend.
 Feel free to post the pics, audio and video on your websites, blogs, myspaces or facebooks!! ASSETS:
