Review

Cage the Elephant wekt indierock weer tot leven ***
Indierock kan weer, dat bleek woensdag toch in Brussel. Met gitaren die klonken als laag overscherende straaljagers, riffs die rafeliger waren dan een verkreukeld shirt, en een zanger die de opvolging voor Iggy Pop leek te willen verzekeren, wekte Cage the Elephant de punkrock van de nineties opnieuw tot leven.
Ze worden het nieuwe snoepje van de gitaarminnende hipster genoemd, en op Studio Brussel werd hun optreden tijdens Sound of Sam opgenomen in de lijst van beste sessies ooit. Toch bleef het jonge volkje in een uitverkochte AB-Club duidelijk in de minderheid. De eindexamens zaten daar ongetwijfeld voor iets tussen, maar ook de muzikale huisstijl van Cage the Elephant dreef de gemiddelde leeftijd gevoelig op. Read more on DeMorgen.be

Cage The Elephant doesn’t immediately ring a bell here but that is sure to change soon. Their new single ‘Shake Me Down’ has grown into a huge hit in homeland USA and the associated album ‘Thank You, Happy Birthday’ (that will now also be officially released here via EMI) entered the Billboard album charts at number 2 and the iTunes charts at the top earlier this year. On their current tour, the band shares stages with bands as diverse as The Black Keys or Biffy Clyro. It’s actually quite difficult to describe Cage The Elephant musically. Not because you can’t put your finger on what they’re about but because their rock songs exhibit a timelessness patented by only the great songwriters. This fivesome encompassing the brothers Matthew & Brad Schultz has already received quite some superlatives:

"…one of rock’s best young bands." (3.5 stars) – Rolling Stone "…one of the best rock albums of the year…" Alternative Press "The new album is more abrasive, rowdier, more unstable and pushier in the right ways." – New York Times "…ripping rave-ups and effortlessly tasty singalongs…" (3 stars) – Los Angeles Times

The DeVilles is a power-trio from Keerbergen who've consumed the required dose of music history. They're inspired by both 60’s rock ‘n’ roll and by blues bands, as well as by big modern names (Triggerfinger, Wolfmother, The Datsuns). A mix of rock, blues, garage and rock ‘n’ roll results in a youthful and eager collective that isn't afraid of a little entertainment. Think hard, edgy and sexy.

Na de beelden te hebben gezien van hun concert op Lolapalooza 2011, weet ik zeker dat ik iets gemist heb, dan maar vlug hun 2 cds gekocht en zeker weten, volgende keer ben ik er zeker bij. Zanger lijkt wel een mix van een jonge Axl Rose, met wat Anthony Kiedis er bij en ook wat Kurt Cobain.

Jonge snaken, die gasten van The DeVilles. Rechttoe rechtaan, maar best goed. Gaan we nog van horen denk ik. En Cage The Elephant? Vind ik meer schitteren in hun "rustigere" momenten dan in de headbang-give-it-all-you-ve-got nummers. Zitten echt pareltjes tussen.

De Vlaamse jonkies van The DeVilles hebben goed gespiekt in de handleiding van smeuige rock 'n roll. Een beetje hoop in bange Belgische rock-dagen. En wie wacht er nog op een nieuwe CD van de Pixies als Cage The Elephant er is om de pijn te verzachten? De grote doorbraak wenkt voor deze Amerikanen, ga er u aan vergapen op Pukkelpop.

"Thank You, Happy Birthday" nodigt uit om dit groepje in levenden lijve te leren kennen. Zou wel eens een memorabel concertje kunnen worden...
