Cage The Elephant

Bowling Green, Kentucky is a small town in the American south. It’s best known for manufacturing Chevrolet Corvettes and Fruit Of The Loom underwear. Soon, it’s going to be best known for manufacturing thunderously sexy rock’n’roll. And with that, the next great American rock band. Meet Cage The Elephant!

Since teleporting to the UK in autumn 2007 Matt Schultz (vocals), his brother Brad (guitar) plus their friends Daniel Titchenor (bass), Lincoln Parish (guitar) and Jared Champion (drums) have been tearing across the UK, flooring everyone in their wake with their funked-up desert punk. They share the roar of Queens Of The Stone Age, the bounce of Beck, the psychedelics of Jimi Hendrix and the funk of Rage Against The Machine. While others like Kings of Leon have toed the line of a fairly southern rock sound, Cage The Elephant is all over the map, from blues to rapid-fire early 80s punk, from Chuck Berry to Nirvana. When their debut album hits in 2008 they’ll be impossible to ignore!
