It's referring to Aberdeen in Scotland. They said so in an interview. That also kinda explains why the monster thing in the music video kind of resembles what the Loch ness monster is thought to look like.
The guitarist at the left is always very serious and just stays there all alone in his corner on the stage, I think Matt takes all of his energy for performance of his erratic yet amazing dance spasms
Some people like the rawness in his live performances. If you go into a live concert I have a feeling that kind of voice would make you really pumped up. But you know. Its preference.
in this video he has the nirvana vibe going on. In the video, cold cold cold, he kinda has the old school rolling stones, mick jagger thing going on. I love these guys
I think they have more of a Pixies influence than Nirvana. I think people compare them more to Nirvana because they took influence from Pixies as well and Matt acts like Kurt :)

Matt's voice has it's limitations, but he doesn't give a shit. I like that.
nice
el rock es actitud amigo . saludos
I love how passionate he is when he sings. At least he doesn't hide his crazy, he's real, and it's beautiful.
Just saw them live the other night, greatest concert
I'm addicted to the way Matt moves
Love this song. And my home city is Aberdeen, Scotland
+Wyatt Scully No it's actually about Aberdeen in England where they lived for quite a while.
+Darth (in)Vader I believe it's in Scotland then. My apologies I just know that CTE lived in the UK for a period of time.

i was security for this day, throw back :] tears to my eyes fun times working for the show.
MATT'S VOICE HE WAS SO LITTLE
The way they perform this song gives me chills.
This is one of my favorite songs and every time I listen to this live recording I get goosebumps
I love the originality of the band... it sets them apart and I'm drawn in! Love you CTE
LOL I LOVE this band, I'm very happy they exist these days... we need this kind of music around
Matt is that crazy man who i'd like to meet someday... i mean, he catch all my attention and curiosity (it's normal i think)
that's not normal in the slightest
Tich doing the "ooooooh" is quite literally so adorable 💘
Totally reminds me of Cobain, Nirvana!! Matt does an awesome job with his stage performance! They all do.
i just saw them live a few days ago, and they were amazing!! I would to another one in a heart beat!!
the way he prounounces some sounds in this clip makes him sound irish lol
this song has an amazing bass line
His energy is amazing!
cant stop watching this, seriously
The way Matt moves around the stage just makes me love him even more
lincoln parish es uno de los mejores guitarristas de nuestro querido indierock. Un verdadero crack
Dope ass band, dope ass song!
I just saw them in december, and Matt & Daniel look so different but Brad looks exactly the same lol
I saw them open up for The Black Keys in Septemeber
THANK GOD FOR THIS BAND ♥
Love this song!!! It has PIXIES written all over it. In a good way, of course.
Poor Matt, he's trying so hard to control himself
In an interview they said the song was semi related to nirvana. Anyways: STRAIGHT 90s SHIT UP IN HERE--FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!! :)
got to take ur hats off to these guys,sound great ......they are massive here in aberdeen!

wow.. why so little views?
cage the elephant is awesome!
Same here i just heard this song today and i've watched this video about 7 times now
the song is about aberdeen ,scotland ..fact .they were in scotland aberdeen and they made this song then .
Grant Webster I thought it was about Aberdeen, WA dang it!
Cage from the early 2010s were Intense and I hate that they are going in they're Rolling Stone phase
Kurt is still alive-heres the proof for. damn I have a crush on them they're pretty brilliant musicians!!
+mri svs Kurt sang much better.as on the album .and the current soloist imitating him and singing awful ,but the track is gorgeous in MP4
+Jesse James wow what a pessimist. I don't even meant the voice, I just meant the appearance n the performing stuff. fk u. n what imitating lol
+mri svs more like black francis from pixies
this music is so cool .. wow !!
This guitar solo is so weird, it makes it all the more enjoyable ! ^^
Ele me faz lembrar do Kurt
this is one of the most weird solos ever.
Matt have the Cobain spirit!!!!
So fun to play.
4/5ths of this bands is various flavors of Jesse Eisenbach, enjoy that image
Kurt Cobain is alive and is the lead singer of Cage the Elephant!
better than no diretion
Look how they were🥺
cool story bro
What the happened to these guy they were dropping hit after hit this is my favorite part especially the breakdown part I miss 2016
ye matt is tryin to be new head of alternative as person on stage I think, I know they are 2 diffrent kinds of people with Kurt but he's good musican
i wanna do shopping with them
Yes
este tema en vivo la rompee!!
bass sound bad ass. my respect for cage the elephant
They're great live.
they fcking nailed it!
I can honestly say that Cage the Elephant is the only modern band I like
Fuck is wrong with brads posture when he plays? LOL no offence but how is that not discomforting
Shane Yoo well he plays power chords mostly so I guess a high strap would stop fatigue or carpal tunnel
It was the day before, at the house of blues, greats seat too.
Reminds me of nirvana
More like the Pixies
fuckin grunge posers lol
Herp the singer reminds me Kurt Cobain with his hair, his voice and his stage performance
It's intentional. Kurt Cobain was born in Aberdeen, Washington.
Kurt grewed up in Aberdeen
Channeling The Pixies.
At the end when they shook hands Pauly D just causally waved and Jared and turned his head quick.
I love u❤️❤️❤️
And the name of the song is an obvious homage to Kurt.
that hair sings really good
I want to know what that low hanging jacket button up thing matt is wearing is called
ZIPEPROD it's just a normal button down shirt. A lot of nicer ones are long like that because it's expected that you'll tuck it into your pants
Super high
He doesn't shake enough!
Aberdeeeeeeeeen~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!
WHY HE SAY TIME LIKE THAT “TiMe😼”
holy shit they were on jay leno awesome
agreed! fuck yeah.
Aberdeeeeeeen hay wey, hay wey
Bravissimi !!!
What makes you think just because the song title is the name of where Kurt Cobain lived means its a Nirvana reference?
Everybody stop saying “he’s the new Kurt” or “fucking Kurt wannabe” Jesus Christ nirvana fans are the worst
Fucking awesome performance!
He said his dad was a musician, maybe his dad Kurt or Thurston.
They were on Leno? Sweeet.
Kurt Cobain, is that you?
+Lucas Fanchiotti Theyre both excellent but I think CTE has a better bassist. He really holds these songs together.
stfu. more like black francis from pixies.
in this video he has the nirvana vibe going on. In the video, cold cold cold, he kinda has the old school rolling stones, mick jagger thing going on. I love these guys
Dora Saraiva no Matt is better
Praise The Dark Moon your opinion. Just like it's mine when I say kurt cobain is far better
Gotta love those khaki skinny jeans!
Daniel Johnston voice
What pedals is the main guitarist using for the intro?
this song is scary
On their latest album they remind me more of the pixies.
Kurt Cobain's hair ! :o
AHUEVOO
2:00-2:23
What kind of shirt is that
Sounds and looks like a mix of Pixies and Sonic Youth (except from the stupidly high-slung guitar of course)
what?
hey bro if it works for brad it works..
i know and obviously thats cool but i dont think ***** understands what high-slung means
Charlie Burnham wut I was thinkin' and high slung blah blah who cares say whatever you want. love the endeavor Cage peoples
playback ! but i love this band ! Pixies Spirit more than Nirvana Spirit ;)
omg matt looks so young here
This video cut out the part where Pauly D snubbed Jared. That made me very angry.
xoxo
I think they have more of a Pixies influence than Nirvana. I think people compare them more to Nirvana because they took influence from Pixies as well and Matt acts like Kurt :)
Before i get mad are you ripping on them for basing a song after their major inspiration (next to the pixies)? Just need to check
Cage the elephant or nirvana
What if its all the Aberdeens put together :D
Legal
The bands inspiration were the pixies probably why??
This songs name is inspired by the name of a town that Jared had a gf in.
JAJAJA genial
Aberdeen Washington? Just a guess idk
i would love it, but it was actually named after aberdeen football club
i read somewhere that it was named after the scottish soccer team, because the band were living in england
surely they were living in scotland
it's actually about Aberdeen South Dakota. watch the video about it on their website.
