Caged Animals Tickets

Caged Animals is the recording project of Vin Cacchione and Magali Charron. Their music has been described by BrooklynVegan as “tuneful, heartfelt, and hopeful,” and the New Yorker as “a hip-hop influenced Velvet Underground.” The pair met in the late-night frenzy of the mid-00’s anti-folk scene. Vin, the budding songwriter, and Magali the photographer with violin-chops. In 2010 they formed Caged Animals, recording spontaneous lo-fi anthems in the front room of their Brooklyn apartment. The tracks made reverberations on the internet and Caged Animals signed to the UK’s venerable Lucky Number Music.

In 2011 they achieved a top ten single in Germany with their left-of-the- dial pop song “Teflon Heart,” becoming the inadvertent Hasselhoff’s of Brooklyn’s indie scene. In 2017 “These Dark Times,” became the theme to the Webby Award winning podcast Conversations With People Who Hate Me. Caged Animals have toured throughout Europe and North America, sharing the stage with DIIV, Blood Orange, Darwin Deez, and Mac Demarco along the way.

On 2021’s, Underneath The Spell, the group has taken a reflective turn, crafting their most personal and organic album to date. The recordings
began in pre-pandemic Brooklyn but took a long pause when Vin and his family relocated to Magali’s hometown of Sackville, NB. Vin is also an esteemed collaborator in the contemporary fiction podcasting scene, writing the songs for the acclaimed musical It Makes A Sound and working with John Cameron Mitchell on his groundbreaking Anthem: Homunculus podcast, as well as, Julian Koster's magical The Orbiting Human Circus. He also produced Stubborn Heart, the critically acclaimed debut album of writer, Bob Dylan associate, and John Cale collaborator, Larry “Ratso” Sloman, a record which gave him the chance to work with Nick Cave, Warren Ellis, and Yasmine Hamdan.
