of anyone that was at the new years show at the aragon ballroom with 4 of my favorite bands ever. how much better can a show get than Cage the Elephant, Morning Teleportation, Sleeper Agent, and Company of Thieves?!?
wait. you met them? I'M SOO INCREDIBLY JEALOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i. must. meet. them. was matt just as crazy as he seems :)
Yeah it was da bomb, take a look at this.
Matt isn’t really a super crazy person off stage, he’s just a really nice and down to earth dude
have you seen cage the elephant live??
You betcha! i saw them for the first time before i knew who they were in detroit last may. Best show i ever went to forreal. Then i went to london ontario to see them and finally drove to philadelphia to see them at popped where i got to meet them ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
K.. I'll ask you something.. Ummm What's your name? =)
Yesssssssssssss. Thanks yo.
my name is matt.
i see the other cage blogs doin this a lot and they always get questions, but when i do it no one asks anything.
Do i smell bad or something?
is there something in my teeth?
What do you think of their newest shirts?
i think they’re pretty awesome. i would get the red one for sure
11 notes (via cage-the-elephant)
What would you do if Cage the Elephant broke into your house and started breaking your shit just for fun?
what's your favorite cage the elephant song?!
hhhhhhhh, this one is difficult.
i don’t think i can pick ONE favorite because they’re all my favorite. I like every single song they have ever made.
But when i’m driving i love singing along with In One Ear and screaming really loud. Drones in the Valley has that great bass line. Tiny Little Robots is great too..
Sabertooth Tiger is my favorite when i see them live though if that helps
The concert was great except for this annoying couple cuddling in the front. It made no sense, why would you cuddle in the front row? They weren't even excited. Matt stage dived 50 million times and i sung along with every song. Cage the elephant concerts are so amazing.
heckyes! cage shows are no place for cuddling… and i dont know a whole lot about foo fighters shows but i doubt they are good places for cuddling either! shoulda moshed them out of the way. cage shows are the best. that sounds great
if you ever got to meet cage the elephant what would you say to them? like each one
i actually have met them! I bought VIP tickets for the popped fest in philidelphia thinking i would get like backstage seats to watch from the wings or something but it got moved indoors. since it was a festival it was basically a really really really long show with each band one after the other.
after a few bands, the radio station that was hosting it made an announcement over the PA and said “Attention all VIP members, Cage the Elephant will be doing a meet n greet in the VIP lounge in ten minutes”
so i freaked out because i was already standing at the barricade waiting for them(this was at like 4 pm and they eventually came on at 1030) and pushed my way through the crowd with mah vip bracelet.
They had a back room and when i walked in, matt and brad walked in through doors on the other side of the room for an interview. it’s so surreal to see people you never thought you would ever meet in person for the first time.
so i was like ‘well cool, at least i’ll get to meet matt and brad’ and they did their interview. after it was over, the rest of the guys came in to sign autographs and talk.
the people running the show basically ran us through it like a herd so there wasn’t much time to say anything, but here is what i said to each of them(the order they were sitting in at the table):
Tich and Jared: hey you guys rock you’re my favorite band
Matt Brad and Lincoln: (i had my camera with me… which matt broke by jumping on top of me at a show in london, on) Check it out, i drove all the way from detroit to see you guys and i brought this camera that has lots of cage memories (i showed them the camera with the lcd screen all messed up looking) matt said “oooooohhhh noooooo dude i’m so sorry” and brad said “Nice going MATT!! HaahAaaa(brad laughbestlaugh)
told them i was a huge fan and their music rocked
they were all really cool dudes
