Cage The Elephant Thunders Through The U.S.

Cage The Elephant just began its “Spring Fling Rock AF” a few days ago but the rock band is already eyeing its next North American adventure. Matthew Shultz & Co. have unveiled a May-June itinerary featuring special guest Portugal. The Man.   

CTE is supporting its fourth studio album, 2015’s Tell Me I’m Pretty, which Rolling Stone calls the band’s “best yet – melodically taut garage rock with psychedelic flourishes and a fighting edge.”
