Fresh off of their appearance on David Letterman, Cage the Elephant made their way out to All Points West, where they played a terrific, high-energy show. It was just another day and just another fest for the band, who's been touring steadily for the past three years.
The touring has definitely been paying off. Cage the Elephant has gained a considerable following as of late, partially owing to their recent free download on iTunes but mostly due to their energetic live shows and the quality of their songs. Most contain more-than-serviceable hooks, and a political resonance that just might provide the me generation something to think about.
Their self-titled debut is worth picking up, and their shows are definitely worth catching - especially if you're feeling the need to rock out.
