About

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.

    Great night for live music. Crowd was jumping to those funky bass riffs. Sadly I didn’t win the tree. Great idea!!

    Ok show

    by Bill on 5/16/24Pinewood Bowl Theater - Lincoln

    Not sure what I expected, but overall a C at best. The production was very bland, show length of 2:15 was short. Musically it was a C.

    Didn’t get my money’s worth

    by JenZ on 5/16/24Pinewood Bowl Theater - Lincoln

    With no opening act, a long intermission and a lot of talking I maybe saw an hour of music. What they did play sounded great, just was left wanting more.

    great after rain show

    by Dave from Eau Claire on 5/14/24McGrath Amphitheatre - Cedar Rapids

    Cake started out their May 2024 tour on a high note.! Slight delay due to unexpected rain but once the show started it was well worth the wait. After a couple songs the band was tight and continued to put on a great show. Good almost sold out crowd. Only negatives were the restroom situation (long lines) and also the same for the beverage lines.

    Venue needs help

    by Drreagan on 5/14/24McGrath Amphitheatre - Cedar Rapids

    Huge bathroom lines, huge beverage lines, lack of crowd control, made this venue a place I would not return to.

    dissapointing

    by drew on 5/14/24McGrath Amphitheatre - Cedar Rapids

    like finding out Santa isn't real. Never had a chance to see Cake live before, it wasn't close to their recorded sound. Not sure what the reason was, but it was a let down.
