don’t you just love it when a band likes to show the world that there is more to their indie rock groove by dragging in some dub master and adding a reggae beat to their trad-rock creations ? <\/p>\n
of course the tradition includes such original punk’d up folks as the clash<\/strong>, uk subs<\/strong>, and more recently, primal scream<\/strong>, the blink-and-you’ll-miss’em, the dead 60s<\/strong>, and of course the regular team ups between dj wrongtom<\/strong> and his pals, hard-fi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n while it’s easy to be snobbish, i cant deny that the results are often far more enjoyable than the source material, and this remix is a perfect example of one such a time.<\/p>\n cage the elephant <\/strong>are a blues’d up garage band with nods to the classic 70s rock era from america currently in the process of getting some love from the nme<\/u>, so when this dropped in my inbox a while ago i typically ignored it and carried on listening to my $tateside collection.<\/p>\n however, today i was clearing out my email account, and this caught my attention during a break in the cloud. and what do you know, its mighty fine.<\/p>\n no idea as to who is actually behind the remix – but who cares, turn up the volume, open a window and pretend that we do have a summer going on.<\/p>\n nb<\/u> : stay tuned for a pointer to a superb dj wrongtom<\/strong> mixtape.<\/p>\n mp3<\/u> : cage the elephant – aint no rest for the wicked (wicked devil remix)<\/a><\/p>\n
