Cage the Elephant

Cage the Elephant is an alternative rock band which formed in 2005 in Bowling Green, Kentucky, United States.

The band consists of Matt Shultz (vocals), Brad Shultz (guitar), Nick Bockrath (guitar), Daniel Tichenor (bass, vocals), Jared Champion (drums) and Matthan Minster (keyboard, vocals, guitar).

Their breakthrough single was Ain't No Rest For The Wicked, which peaked at #83 on the Billboard Hot 100, #32 on the UK Singles Chart and #3 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart. This song was also featured as the intro song for the 2009 video game "Borderlands."

Thus far, they have earned dozens of Gold, Platinum & Multi Platinum certifications, tallied over 5 billion streams, & notched 11 #1 records on Alternative Radio. The guys consecutively garnered 2 GRAMMY® Awards for "Best Rock Album" for both Tell Me I'm Pretty
and Social Cues . Of the latter, Entertainment Weekly raved, "The album's introspection paired with its urgent energy make Cage The Elephant sound more passionate than ever." In the meantime, their music has also surged through pop culture as "Cigarette Daydreams" graced the soundtrack of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 video game, "Goodbye" appeared in The Summer | Turned Pretty, & "Trouble" powered a global campaign for Amazon Prime.
The Kentucky-bred six-piece instinctually lean on their enduring bond as both musicians & friends to get through anything & everything.
Moments of elation might take the form of sticky hooks, swaggering rhythms, or upbeat guitars, while tense riffs & jittery grooves could give shape to feelings of anxiety, doubt, or instability. As such, the group fearlessly alchemize a season of tragedy & turbulence into the 12 tracks on their 6th full-length album, Neon Pill.
