One of the more eclectic bands you will ever have the pleasure of hearing, CAKE has enjoyed a long career and gained the respect of their critics and fans. Get your tickets today from TickCo to see Cake when they perform live in your area!
CAKE began its career in 1991. Led by vocalist and songwriter John McCrea, the band began crafting music that drew from a variety of genres. This is a band that at one moment can play some good old fashioned rock and roll, then dabble in a bit of country, launch into some funk and rap, all the while mixing in a taste of ska and jazz. The formula works well in this case, as Cake is loaded with superb musicianship.
The band struck paydirt in 1996 with the release of their second album Fashion Nugget. The Distance was the first single released and peaked at Number Four on the U.S. Modern Rock chart.
The band continued its assault on the Modern Rock charts, with multiple singles landing in the Top Five and Never There hitting the top spot. Multiple albums from CAKE have landed in the U.S. Top 40. All of this has been done without the band ever selling out and trying to cater to the mainstream. They have a serious agenda and stick to their indie ideals.
As good as Cake is on record, this is simply one of those bands you HAVE to see live to fully appreciate. Take those great songs, add the superb play of the band and the audience is in for one heck of an experience. The fact that John McCrea is one of the most engaging frontmen in music ties the entire package together very nicely. He gets the audience involved and makes you want to join in the fun.
Wonderful sing-a-longs are in store for you with classics like Sheep Go To Heaven and Race Car Ya-Ya's. No matter how reserved you may be, you WILL be chanting "Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na" (there are exactly that many!) when told to during Short Skirt, Long Jacket! Don't miss out.
