Cage the Elephant performed with Biffy Clyro and Sleeper Agent at Albuquerque’s Sunshine Theater April 12th.
The crowd waiting outside the theater was small compared to the lines when other larger bands play there. It didn’t look very promising until the doors opened and people started pouring in… it was a full house!

Alternative Rock music coming to Albuquerque that you need to look for: 311 (Feb 23 @ Sunshine Theater), Cage the Elephant (April 12 @ Sunshine Theater), The New Pornographers (April 14th @ Sunshine Theater), Interpol (April 18th @ Sunshine Theater), Social Distortion (April 26th @Sunshine Theater), and New Politics (May 3rd @ Sunshine Theater).
It looks like it’s going to be a slow couple months in February and March for the alternative scene. 311 are coming to town this month, but what new music have they put out? That’s what I thought. They are now on their Spring tour for 2011 and are scheduled to do a Caribbean cruise in March. As of January 8, 2011, the band is working on a new album and plan to release it before Summer 2011. Take a look at 311’s website to see what new things they have cooking up there. Contribute a post of two… they only have three on their latest news update and they are spam.
On a more exciting note, Cage the Elephant will be coming to Albuquerque on April 12th at the Sunshine Theater. Chances are, you’ve heard their latest single “Shake Me Down” on the radio or satellite radio. They’ve come a long way since their last big hit “Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked,” back in 2009. “Thank You, Happy Birthday,” is their newest album, which was released on January 11, 2011. According to Billboard 200 it debuted at number 2, in its first week of release. If you’ve been living under a rock and haven’t heard this band you should give them a listen. And If you like Crash Kings, Cold War Kids, Band of Skulls, New Politics, Neon Trees, or Flobots, you’ll like Cage the Elephant.
