New Haven/Boston popsters The Cavemen Go have been added to the bill for the Nov. 14 Elm City PopFest.
The Cavemen Go have made a name for themselves as one of — if not the — premier pop band in New Haven. They consistently stand out from the crowd in New Haven with great pop songwriting and musicianship. The Cavemen Go fuses the past and the present with influences as varied as the British Invasion and Motown, as well as nods to the poppier end of contemporary indie rock and even shades of country and folk-rock.
The New Haven Advocate said about The Cavemen Go’s album “New Lives”:
The Cavemen Go, which began as a gown/gown blend of Yale and SCSU students in the early 2000s, have always understood that blue-eyed sensitivity and chord-heavy R&B keyboards are as essential to gritty ‘60s-style American garage rock as hair-shaking gyrations, tambourines and “woo-woo”s. Add an alt-country twang at times and this soul-bending band matches early-‘70s Kinks for artful, articulate pop cross-pollination.
