Awkward and endearing are two words that are commonly used to describe New Jersey's Caged Animals (or myself, for that matter). Frontman Vincent Cacchione crafts a very distinctive ambient drawl, forgoing guitars and acoustic drums for ambient soundscapes and hushed vocals. But don't be fooled, Caged Animals tunes are secretly pop music at their core, even though Cacchione never forgets to jazz things up with some R&B and a bunch of indie-rocker cred for good measure.
You can catch Caged Animals tonight when they open for Darwin Deez. Doors are at 6:00pm and tickets are $10 presale (support your local musician) or $13 at the door. In the meantime, enjoy the bouncing drone of "Candy & Me" which has an irresistible assortment of synths to enjoy. Check it out below.

In case you haven't heard, Darwin Deez (the NYC based project of Darwin Smith and friends) will be playing at Soundlab tonight courtesy of After Dark Entertainment. Deez has been making a name for himself for catchy guitar licks and "lyrical wizardry" and at around 8PM the full group will be showcasing their most recent and self-produced album, Songs for Imaginative People. As NME describes "There’s still a sense, at its heart, of a warm, yet slightly neurotic overthinker, sat at a mixing desk in his bedroom, possibly in his big white underpants, and just going wherever the spirit takes him." Joining them tonight will be Caged Animals and Nelson-Type, you can check the event page here. Doors open at 7PM and tickets are $12 at the door. See you there!
