The episode will include interviews with the band as well as footage from the show. Fans can RSVP to win tickets to attend the show HERE.
Arguably one of the best live bands around today, the band has captured the frenetic energy of their live set in the form of a Live EP that will be released on October 7th, 2014 via RCA Records. The EP features five live tracks recorded at Guitar Center in Los Angeles, CA.
Cage the Elephant Deep Hands Live Session EP features live recordings of the bands hit single "Shake Me Down," and tracks from their critically-acclaimed third album Melophobia: "Cigarette Daydreams," "Spiderhead," "It's Just Forever," and the No. 1 alternative hit "Come A Little Closer." They have had a huge summer playing almost every major US festival including Coachella, Bonnaroo, Firefly and Lollapalooza, always coming out the other side as one of the must-see acts at the festival.

Praise for Melophobia:
"Melophobia may mean 'fear of music,' but there's nothing to be afraid of: Its glorious chaos makes for thrilling listening." - USA Today
"The album fortifies its scrappy riffs with more lavish textures, drawing upon instruments that wouldn't sound out of place on a Tom Waits record." - Consequence of Sound
"Songwriting smarts and sophisticated arrangement cement Cage The Elephant's status as one of today's most relevant pop-smiths." - Drum! Magazine
"Melophobia is a glitter-flecked triumph of banging power pop. Propulsive choruses, a musical cacophony that whirls and a melodic sense that secedes nothing to the rhythms, the scrappy quintet's third album is a focused, frenzied affair." - Paste
"Melophobia is all gooes sonority, one fuzzy pop nuggest bumping against the other like bubbles in a screen saver." - Electronic Musician
"sexy shimmy and seductive pshychedelia" - People
