Matt himself said he found the name "Cage The Elephant" on the back of a cereal box. It was a "trace the dots game, when you traced all the dots it caged the elephant" He thought it was creative and stuck with it :P
I love the direction Cage the Elephant is going in. It's weird because a while back, I didn't like them at all. But the more I listened to them, I just started relating and understanding their music. It's amazing how well they combine everything. Cage the Elephant may be my all time favorite band.
i talked to the band after a show, cage the elephant comes from a childrens puzzle toy where you have to " cage the elephant" to win; i have also heard them say this on the radio after. They did an interview with preston and steve on 93.3 wmmr that confirms this
@CadeWadkins, they do. I saw them a few months back at the Vic in Chicago. Great show, he really enjoys crowd surfing and allowing the crowd to go up on stage and mess around. At the end he jumped off 15 foot speakers into the crowd, it was fantastic
Did anyone get to see their tour with Sleeper Agent? I fell in love with this band.. their new album Celebrasion is awesome, and its only 5 bucks on Amazon!!
OMG I ACTUALLY LOVE THIS. The best part is that they formed in 06. Could... could this mean.... potentially a '10 era of actual, GOOD music?? OMGOSH i hope so. I really really do. Cage the Elephant ftw :D
Thats how I found out about there music also. They are truly original. There are a few bands similar but you really dont hear this kind of music much these days. Id compare them closly to the white stripes.
PJ's New CD took some getting used to for me.. but i love it... i explain it to ppl who listen to old PJ.. its like Eddie got a hug from someone.. and he was kinds up about writing the songs..lol
This band is so badass. It's a shame that not much people know about them. But then again it's good because you don't want all these posers listening to them and making them the band look bad.
