I played these guys back in April, right before I took off for Coachella, where I saw them live and was taken aback by their amazing performance. The reaction was mixed, but mostly positive then, as it was today. Since the last time I played these guys I found their video (after the jump), and they have really started to rise up the charts. The band is from Bowling Green, Kentucky; yeah, I don’t get it either! They are a pretty big deal in Europe, which isn’t surprising with their sound.
Check out the video for “Ain’t No Rest For The Wicked” after the jump.
You can catch up with Cage the Elephant on MySpace, Facebook, Twitter and their official website.
Today’s text message responses included “Fantastic!!”, “very 80s esque ie Violent Femmes” and other positive responses. And one person that wasn’t into it, saying it was “desperately progressive.” Tanya sent a message on Twitter saying it was a “good song!”
What do you think of the song?
