CAGE MATCH: Multi-hyphenate performer Cage is hitting it big, doing the hiphop-rock crossover thing. His latest album, the dark, El-P-produced Depart From Me came out at the end of last month, earning him mostly favorable reviews. Meanwhile, Shia Labeouf directed his latest video "I Never Knew You," while also talking about playing Cage in a biopic of his turbulent, mental illness- and drug-filled life. Whaaaaa? Sans Shia, Cage hits up Nectar tonight for an impressive live show featuring both live guitars and a DJ.
