This band has really nice dynamics between its rhythmic sprinkle and its speed on the straightaways. Although there’s an overall emo overcast to the songs, Cage The Elephant is a good time. I discovered this all from listening to its records — not live like I did last year where the sound in the venue was dogshit (but that didn’t matter to the fans there). Buy a record and give it a spin before you go to the show.
Cage The Elephant plays with Chrome Pony and King Buffalo on Saturday, May 27, at the Main Street Amory, 900 East Main Street. 8 p.m. $39. mainstreetarmory.com; cagetheelephant.com.
