Cage the Elephant
Bellman Barker
9:30 Club

I met up with my friend TJ and her friends for her favorite local band Bellman Barker for an early show at 9:30 Club. I missed the first few songs but I liked what I saw - laid back indie rock with some random instruments and samples thrown in. It was their first time playing 9:30 Club so it was a great night for them.

Cage the Elephant are a five-piece of very young looking dudes from KY who are probably one of the next big things. They reminded me somewhat of The Blood Brothers mixed with blues rock. The live show was very spastic, while their recorded stuff sounds a little different. I really liked a couple of the songs but overall it was not really my thing.
