Cage the Elephant performing at Austin City Limits Oct. 1.

Having dominated the radio in both the U.S. and UK for nearly a decade, alternative blues rock group Cage The Elephant has made a name for themselves by being true rock stars. The group boasts catchy songs the audience can sing along to, high energy on stage antics and charisma so thick you could cut it with a knife. The onstage chemistry shown by brothers Matthew Shultz (vocals) and Brad Shultz (lead guitar) was akin to watching “The Blues Brothers”, while drummer Jared Champion and bassist Daniel Tichenor kept pace, occasionally breaking into a solo that showcased just how deep the talent runs in these four rockers. They performed hits such as “Trouble”, “Come a Little Closer”, “Ain’t No Rest For The Wicked” and “Punchin’ Bag”, all of which were echoed by the audience.
