As they approach their twentieth anniversary, CAKE’s adherence to their original guiding principles has only grown stronger. Formed during the nineties as a somewhat antagonistic answer to grunge, CAKE’s democratic processes, defiant self-reliance, and lucid yet ever-inventive music has made them a nation-state unto themselves, with no obvious peers, belonging to no school. In addition to writing, arranging, producing, and performing their own music, they have taught themselves to engineer their recording projects in their own solar-powered studio, which actually generates more power than is needed to run it, causing the building’s electrical meter to run in reverse. CAKE’s most recent album, Showroom of Compassion, was released on their own Upbeat Records label and debuted on the US Billboard Top 200 Album Chart at #1 during 2011 -- making the album as pure an extension of the DIY aesthetic as ever attempted by an established act.
This was my first time seeing one of my most beloved bands - and they did not disappoint! They are personable and lively! The venue, a auditorium was perfect- intimate and playful!
Loved the show from beginning to end, very entertaining and they did encores which is always awsome that a band would give their fans exactly what they were looking for!
I love Cake and always have. They rocked this show but not as hard as they used to. Can't wait for the new album!!
I had been dying to see Cake for a while, and they were just as quirky and fun as I thought they would be. they started right on time, so don't be a moment late! The singer was sassy and funny, and it was in a small intimate setting. Even though the singer went on this long rampage in which the audience had to guess what type of tree was onstage, the show was still good. I wish they played more songs from Fashion Nugget, but what can you do! they did 1 or 2 encore performances. A must-see for every cake fan.
Cake is always a fun show. High energy. Great for dancing. No new songs though.
This was one of the best shows I've ever seen. If you've never seen anyone at the Lowell Auditorium, you need to go there. The acoustics are amazing! And, of course, Cake was their fantastic selves. Their new stuff is just as ecelectic and fun as their older stuff. Great, great show!!!
