Bio
CAKE is an alternative rock band which formed in 1991 in Sacramento, California, United States. The band consists of John McCrea (vocals, guitar), Xan McCurdy (guitar), Gabe Nelson (bass), Vincent DiFiore (trumpet, keyboards, vocals) and Paulo Baldi (drums).
The sardonic California alt-rock band charmed a capacity Meijer Gardens crowd Wednesday with quirky instrumentation, trademark dry wit and a mix of old and somewhat-new songs. Review, photos.
But since for a while there in the mid-to-late 1990s they were inescapably part of my alt-rock universe I wandered over to catch their set feeling a kind of indifferent nostalgia.
Popular alt-rock band delivered a solid two-set show of 15 songs on Thursday, plus a three-song encore that boasted a cover of Black Sabbath’s War Pigs. (Review, photos)
