Cage the Elephant - Cage the Elephant - (180g) Vinyl Record *

Cage The Elephant is a five-piece band hailing from Bowling Green, Kentucky. The band is made up of Matt Shultz on vocals, his brother Brad on guitar, Daniel Titchenor on bass, Lincoln Parish on guitar, and Jared Champion on drums. The members of Cage The Elephant grew up on an alternative religious commune, where pop music was strictly forbidden. As a result, their discovery of key punk and rock influences was somewhat recent. The band's sound is heavily influenced by artists such as Jimi Hendrix, Green Day, White Stripes, and Kings of Leon. Early in their career, they gained critical exposure by performing at major festivals such as Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza, as well as touring with Queens of the Stone Age. The band then relocated to the UK for a period of time, where they released their debut self-titled album in 2008. It has sold over 40,000 copies in the UK and was driven by a Top 40 charting single and extensive touring, including memorable performances at sold-out Reading and Leeds festivals. Now, Cage The Elephant returns to the US, exultant, intemperate, and ready to conquer.
