Cage The Elephant

Cage the Elephant is an American rock band from Bowling Green, Kentucky, that formed in
2006 and relocated to London, England in 2008 before their first album was released.
The band currently consists of lead vocalist Matt Shultz, rhythm guitarist Brad Shultz, lead
guitarist Nick Bockrath, guitarist and keyboardist Matthan Minster, bassist Daniel Tichenor,
and drummer Jared Champion.
Cage the Elephant are known for energetic live performances and for possessing an eclectic
sound. The band's first album is influenced by classic rock, funk, and blues music.
The band's name, according to lead singer Matt Shultz, came from an incident in 2006 where a
mentally disturbed man approached the band after a show. He hugged Shultz and kept
repeating the sentence "You have to cage the elephant" over and over.
