(New York – January 20, 2017) With Cage The Elephant’s sold out UK tour well underway, the band have announced they will be live streaming their largest London show to date, at Brixton Academy, in conjunction with NME. The show will be streamed live today, Friday 20th January at 9:30 GMT (4:30PM EST // 1:30 PST) simultaneously from www.facebook.com/nmemagazine and http://www.facebook.com/cagetheelephant.
Cage the Elephant has been nominated for a GRAMMY in the category of Best Rock Album for their fourth studio album, Tell Me I’m Pretty. The album, their second to be nominated for a Grammy, was recently certified Platinum in the US. Tell Me I’m Pretty, was released through Columbia Records and produced by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys (Lana Del Rey, Ray LaMontagne, Dr. John, The Pretenders).
Following their GRAMMY nomination, Cage The Elephant unveiled a new music video for “Cold Cold Cold” directed by singer, Matt Shultz. Rolling Stone praised the video as “[tapping] into the paranoia of Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange” and you can watch it here. On the inspiration for the video, Matt said, “I think we're all very prone to subscribe to a safe, surface level pursuit of happiness, keeping our adversities out of sight out of mind, in a way. We try to fix ourselves to fit into the social norm, and it is so easy to forget that in one way or another, the broken hearted are the beautiful ones."
Cage The Elephant also performed ‘Cold Cold Cold’ on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Watch the band’s dynamic performance, with Matt Shultz leaping from Stephen Colbert’s desk mid-song while guitarist Brad Shultz ended the performance by kissing Colbert on the lips.
Cage The Elephant sit with the most elite artists in radio format history - Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foo Fighters, Green Day and U2 - as the biggest airplay bands since the 1988 chart origin, with more #1 Alternative songs than any other artist this decade. Tell Me I’m Pretty’s two singles, ‘Mess Around’ and ‘Trouble,’ both topped the Alternative charts for a total of seven #1 Alternative songs. Additionally, Cage The Elephant's self-titled debut album was recently certified RIAA platinum.
