Cage the Elephant Biography

Cage the Elephant was established in 2006 in Bowling Green, Kentucky, by founding members Matt Shultz, Brad Schultz, Lincoln Parish, Daniel Tichenor, and Jared Champion. After signing to Relentless Records, Cage the Elephant released their self-titled debut in 2008 to critical acclaim and commercial success. Following a performance at the South by South Music Festival, Cage the Elephant appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman, and then at the Lollapalooza festival, gaining fans along the way.

Although Cage the Elephant is just getting started, the band has followed up a highly successful debut with Thank You, Happy Birthday in 2011, and so far has placed a number of singles at the top of the Alternative charts, including: “In One Ear,” “Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked,” “Back Against the Wall,” “Shake Me Down,” “Around My Head,” “Aberdeen,” and “Always Something.” Cage the Elephant followed that success with the albums Melophobia (2013), Tell Me I'm Pretty (2015), and the live album Live from the Vic in Chicago (2012.) Melophobia earned the group their first Grammy Award nomination for Best Alternative Music Album, and Tell Me I'm Pretty won a Grammy for Best Rock Album.

Cage the Elephant continues to perform and record with the current lineup of Champion, Matt & Brad Schultz, Tischenor, Nick Bockrath, and Matthan Minster. The group released their latest album, a live album titled Unpeeled, in 2017. They are currently putting the finishing touches on their next studio album, expected to release in 2018.
