In January 2016, Cage the Elephant performed "Trouble" live at KCRW, showcasing their evolving sound during an exciting period in their career. At this time, the band was promoting their fourth studio album, *Tell Me I'm Pretty*, which had been released in December 2015. Produced by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys, the album marked a notable shift in their musical style, integrating more elements of glam rock and psychedelic influences. This performance is significant as it reflects the band's transition and growth from their earlier, more garage rock-oriented sound to the richer, more textured approach found on *Tell Me I'm Pretty*. The live recording also emphasizes Cage the Elephant's dynamic stage presence and connection with the audience, key elements that have contributed to their success over the years.
