Up-And-Coming Act: Cage The Elephant
As this five-piece look set to rock the UK on their upcoming tour with Pigeon Detectives and a bunch of festivals, it’s clear the only thing Kentucky boys, Cage The Elephant, will be frying is your brain with their horrifyingly catchy and playable tunes. And with their super sellable sound and album due in June, I wouldn’t mind betting it won’t be long before you’re humming their songs like they’re old friends.
Formed by two brothers and their school friends, Cage The Elephant are all about enjoying themselves and the music they love in a way they can share. Bassist, Daniel “Titch” Tichenor explained why they don’t take themselves or their critics too seriously, “We generally don’t care what people think, they can say what they want…We all know there’s a lot of bands out there and we’re just one of them, we just wanna play well and get people to dance” [via GIGWISE].

Already boasting tours with Queens of The Stone Age, Foals and The Wombats, Cage The Elephant are doing a pretty good job of getting their sweaty little faces known around the UK.
Why not watch the video below and make your own mind up, or catch them all fleshy and life-like at one or more of the following festivals: Brighton’s Great Escape, Dot To Dot in Nottingham, Rockness, London’s Lovebox Weekender, the Secret Garden Party, Ripcurl Boardmasters Festival in Newquay, Jersey Live Festival, Beautiful Days and Bestival. Phew! I wish I was going to that many festivals – the lucky little buggers!
“horrifyingly catchy”?……”sellable”?……. What a bunch of fakers. I’ve seen these boys at Tidballs in Bowling Green, Kentucky [their home town] two years ago, after they changed their name ‘again’! There were no spilled drinks or fights before, during or afterwards.
However, if it takes being in a band to get away from that dull, boring, cultureless, no-life, red neck, good ol’ boy, if-it-ain’t-broke-don’t-fix-it town of Bowling Green, where the majority of its clueless inhabitants are afraid to cross the state line and still think the world is flat…….then good luck to them!
The band sucks….balls!
People!…..if you ever get the chance to go there….DON’T!!!
