Last night I was crowded by around 35 other people in a small venue in Phoenix by the name of The Modified to see a band called Cage the Elephant. If you have yet to hear about this band then soon enough you won't be able to stop hearing them. Currently Cage the Elephant is getting a fair amount of airplay on the radio which has been turning people on to their raw rock and roll.
If it were possible for Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Jack White to have some sort of freak love triangle without being "careful" then 9 months later Cage the Elephant would be a favored beautiful accident by everyone.
Cage the Elephant's self titled album is fantastic through and through. I recently heard about these guys no more than 2 months ago and within that time period I have not been able to stop listening to them and I tell anyone I know or meet about this band if I think they might just like them a little bit.
As I was walking into their very personal show last night I had a strong feeling these guys would be able to put on a great live show just because they seem like the type of band that'll just do whatever they want (the good kind of do whatever they want, not act like they're too good for everyone). I was 100% right about that. They were unbelievable and the whole band was so tight with each other, there were very slim to no missed notes or anything by the band and the lead singer sounded like a more refined Jack White with the lyrics of a small underground band of the 70's. They just did what they did best by playing good old fashioned rock & roll.
