Onstage fights and broken amps being hurled into the audience are just some of the elements likely to occur at a Cage the Elephant show. Most importantly, the staple of all of their live performances is brilliant rock ‘n’ roll music: as thrillingly aggressive as the Stooges and as anthemic and raw as the Kings of Leon’s first LP, this is a band that will remind you why you fell in love with rock ‘n’ roll.
Cage the Elephant (average age of 20) are a five piece from Bowling Green, Kentucky. Having upped sticks and moved to Leytonstone, London this Autumn, they are set to win hearts and minds in the UK into 2008 as they bring their incendiary live shows to the UK.
Brothers Matt and Brad Shultz, create a real sense of drama, tension and no little excitement with their onstage love-hate relationship. A recent club show saw lead singer Matt compliment his brother by launching him across the stage into a front row table: Brad returned the favour with an equally affectionate gobful of spit to his brother’s face.
Having signed to Relentless, Cage the Elephant will be releasing a first proper single in the new year with their debut album to follow in May 2008. They currently have a very ltd edition 7” of their track ‘Free Love’ in indie stores now.
Cage the Elephant were main support on Queens of the Stone Age’s US summer tour. They support Foals, The View and The Wombats on their current respective UK tours.
