Uhm.. for a band as funky as Cake the audience is standing pretty still.. i would've been raving and singing and dancing like a loon if i had the chance to see them live :D <3
You guys are incredible. I have seen you out in San Fran. and it was a great show. I hope to hear some new stuff from you all soon. Happy New Year 2012.
I think John McCrea would be the only musician that I would cry for if he died. I'm 19, I have a true musical interest, non of this mainstream modern shit. Real music that affects you deeply, that's my preference.
It was amazing. I was working at this stupid chicken place and hating every minute of it then i heard this come on the radio and then i was happy and wanted to stay hoping it would play more cake. Cake makes people happy. The food and this awesome band.
Fasion nugget is one of my favorite records of all time!!! We used to bomb around town in my cousins 1970 Barracuda and listen to The Distance all day, GOOD TIMES!!!!
Saw them do this in January of this year. Five years later and they are still spot-on! Love them basically telling the audience to "Go to Hell" and everyone is in Heaven listening to them!
two of my favorite bands from my time, 311 and Cake, are both underrated while having some of the best fans from all around the world. reminds me of hearing about Rush back in the day. mad respect for bands that can stick around together and play for the love of music.
@inferno350z CAKE, to quote their lead singer during a live performance I went to, continues to fall in and out of mainstream attention, and has done so since its inception in the 90's. And my comment was a slight exaggeration, as I believe The Mountain Goats is the most underrated band in history.
P.S. It's a bit weird replying to a reply to a comment I wrote almost a year ago.
P.P.S. I've not heard of Xfactor, I'll have to check them out.
Frank Sinatra is one of the absolute best tracks ever created, both powerful and sensitive, deep and spiritual and totally moving from start to finish.
I'm sure the liveliness of the crowd was inspiring them! I would have been in the front row, dressed as a satyr, dry humping the first thing I perceived to be a security guard considering there didn't appear to be a need for any.
@drawer450 while Frank Sinatra sings stormy weather, the flies and spiders get along together, cobwebs fall on an old spinning record... beyond the suns that guard this roost, beyond your flowers of flaming truth, beyond your latest ad campaigns... an old man sits collecting stamps in a room all filled with Chinese lamps, he saves what others throw away-uh, he says that he'll be rich somedayyyyy...
Everyone plays their instruments really well, especially the bassist who is probably often overlooked. I like his sound and style. But maybe he should ditch the cap.
thats probably the good thing about thier live act, the singer put a sorta bluesy style into his singing pattern, waiting that half a bar to sing a lyric with a sort of attitude attached to it, its one of the things i personally love about cake
when people ask me what my favorite bands are i have to say Opeth, Between the Buried and Me, and CAKE. And it's weird lol. cuz it's like progressive death metal and more metal and then CAKE. Whatever you'd consider CAKE to be!
@AnyoneButSeagulls I almost shit bricks after reading this, because I was seriously watching BTBAM Colors Dvd before looking up live Cake performances, love them both.
every time they they come out with a new album.. I'm freaked out.. like what happened to Cake. then second time through I'm completely blown away.. Have and love every single album
What the heck are they doing? They are musical geniuses man... They seem to be able to do something I never seen done before in he midst of such overwhelming 'photocopy' pop music... Damn... I always thought that sumday I'd be able to play like them:Cover their songs, maybe, but think like them, Im starting to doubt it...
Everyone loves cake, it's unpreventable, a fact of life. Anyone who disagrees is lying to themselves and they represent everything that is evil and soulless in eternal life
yeah, we found out this dude in our neighbourhood didnt like cake .. well, lets just say he'll be eating food through a straw for the rest of his life ...
