Cage the Elephant

Bowling Green, Kentucky, natives Cage the Elephant first found fame (strangely enough) in England, as well as with their showing at SXSW in 2007 and their eponymous debut album released the following year. Their take on classic garage punk is a chaotic listen that draws on psychedelia, ’70s southern rock, glam and contemporary indie—just the thing for a rollicking live show—and they’re the rare band whose sound continues to deepen and develop with every new album. The night before they open for Oasis at Rose Bowl Stadium, Cage will be playing an intimate show at the El Rey Theatre. Tickets go on sale Friday, August 22, at 10am and are sure to sell out quickly.
