Cage the Elephant

In August 2011, Cage the Elephant was riding high on the success of their sophomore album, "Thank You, Happy Birthday," released earlier that year. The album showcased the band's evolution in sound, moving towards a more polished and diverse approach compared to their debut. The performance of "Shake Me Down" at Lollapalooza 2011 underscores the band's growing popularity and electrifying live presence. This particular song, a standout track from the album, was a significant hit and contributed to the momentum that propelled Cage the Elephant into mainstream recognition. Notably, the band gained acclaim for their dynamic live performances, often marked by frontman Matt Shultz's energetic stage antics, making their set at this iconic festival a memorable moment in their career trajectory.
