Cage the Elephant

In January 2011, Cage the Elephant performed "Back Against the Wall" live at The Vic Theatre in Chicago, after the release of their self-titled debut album in 2008, which had already gained significant traction. At this point in their career, the band was benefiting from the success of their sophomore album, "Thank You, Happy Birthday," which came out in January 2011, just a few weeks prior to this recording. The album showcased a more aggressive sound and included popular tracks like "Shake Me Down." This live performance reflects the band's energetic presence and commitment to their craft, capturing a pivotal moment as they transitioned from breakout success to solidifying their presence in the alternative rock scene. Additionally, the band is known for their dynamic live shows, which often engage audiences through their fervent energy and unique sound.
