Elephant Uncaged and Unplugged

RCA’s Cage The Elephant recently hit the road on their Live & Unpeeled, The Acoustic Tour, a series of rare acoustic shows that feature a string quartet. Guitarist Brad Shultz spoke about the inspiration behind the tour, saying, “After our recent acoustic performance at the Bridge School Benefit, we wanted to share this intimate experience with our fans and take it on the road. We plan to add in a string quartet to make it really cool.”

Cage The Elephant’s tour bus recently pulled into the parking lot of the beautiful Valley Performing Arts Center on the campus of California State University, Northridge, where they proceeded to work their magic on the capacity crowd, which just happened to include RAMP‘s perennial man-about-town, Steve Resnik. Pictured, backstage in the perfectly beige hallway, (l-r): RCA’s Mike Boccuzzi, Cage The Elephant’s Matt Shultz, RCA’s Danny Cooper, Mr. Resnik, Cage The Elephant’s Brad Shultz and Nick Bockrath and RCA’s perfectly pointy Artie Gentile.
