	Cake (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cake (often written CAKE) is a band from Sacramento, California, formed in 1991.
		Although Cake's music is often classified as alternative or indie rock, it combines multiple musical genres, such as funk, ska, pop, jazz, rap, and country.
		Cake's music features droll lyrics rife with word play and syncopation (laconically-voiced in a rap-like style by lead vocalist/guitarist John McCrea), catchy distorted guitar riffs (courtesy of guitarist Greg Brown until 1998, and bass player Victor Damiani until 1997), and a solo trumpet (played by Vince DiFiore).

	Barnes & Noble.com - Artist Bio
		Cake's music most frequently earned comparisons to Soul Coughing and King Missile, but lacked the downtown New York artiness of those two predecessors; instead, Cake cultivated an image of average guys with no illusions or pretensions about their role as entertainers.
		Perhaps there was something in Cake's doggedly spare, low-key presentation that amplified their ironic detachment even when they didn't intend it, but most reviewers pegged them as one-hit wonders after the success of "The Distance." Nonetheless, Cake managed a few more alternative-radio hits in the years that followed, while retaining largely the same approach.
		Cake's second album, Fashion Nugget, was released in 1996 and spawned a breakout smash in the Greg Brown-penned "The Distance," which dominated alternative radio that fall, and even turned into an unlikely sporting-event anthem.

	Cake - Pressure Chief CD Review
		I had heard rumors that the band was going to call it quits after three albums, yet with Pressure Thief, the band is now on their fifth studio album, obviously debunking the rumors that they were going away.
		Cake plucks the ultra-cool song “Guitar Man” from the Bread back catalogue and puts their own spin on it.
		If you haven’t heard this band and like the idea of hearing something truly original that is witty, funny, musically stimulating and has ‘70s pop rock influence in a modern package, you need to taste a piece of this Cake.

		What the Cake founder loves, however, is writing and recording music, which may explain why his songs are frequently jaunty and spirited, buoyed by bleating horns, singing violins, quirky guitar lines and spectral keyboards.
		Still, McCrea emphasized that Cake are not a political band, adding that neither the album title nor its cover art — two hands shaking in front of a globe — were meant as commentary on world events.
		Cake's originality and craftsmanship surely have a lot to do with their appeal, but don't tell that to McCrea, who shrugs off the band's success as fleeting and transitory.

		Even though CAKE wrote, arranged and produced all five of its albums, which is not all that common in pop music, Pressure Chief departs from what preceded it by sheer force of the band's newly invigorated experimental proclivities.
		CAKE continues its way with covers on this album with the aforementioned The Guitar Man; this is a band that knows how to bring something new to its cover versions.
		In early 2000, CAKE signed with Columbia Records, and in the summer of 2001, the band's fourth album, Comfort Eagle, was released, after a single, Short Skirt/Long Jacket, had charted.

	CNN - Cake: Behind the guy with the goatee - November 25, 1998
		And here's another taste of Cake trivia: In the "Never There" video (a song that is pure Cake with a catchy beat and the lonesome pining of a lovelorn dude) and at the band's Atlanta concert, members wore Western gear, complete with cowboy hats and butt-kickin' boots.
		Cake, in other words, is having fun, the life of the party at small venue concerts across America, and soon to be visiting the international market.
		Suddenly, Cake was looking in the eyes of its own song, eating at expensive French restaurants, "very velvet rope and A-list models are there and waiting to be served food at three in the morning," says Roper.

	Cut the Cake - Average White Band, Music Downloads - Online
		The Average White Band's original drummer, Robbie McIntosh, died of a heroin overdose in 1974, and the surviving members were still in mourning when they started working on their third album, Cut the Cake (which originally came out on LP in 1975).
		Despite the fact that AWB's members still had McIntosh's death on their minds when they were writing and recording Cut the Cake, this isn't a depressing or consistently melancholy album -- far from it.
		Cut the Cake is also the album that gave us the ballad "Cloudy" (one of the more melancholy tracks) and AWB's version of "If I Ever Lose This Heaven," a smooth soul classic that was originally recorded by Quincy Jones in 1973.

		The cake is now set on display for all the guests to see throughout the reception, and its role in the wedding is just as important as the flowers and the dress.

	The Band
		Cake was formed in Sacramento around 1991 when five guys, John McCrea (vocals), Greg Brown (guitar), Victor Damiani (bass), Vince DiFiore (trumpet), and Todd Roper (drums), decided to try something different.
		Cake was born the bastard child of folk, funk, hip-hop, rock, and most prominently, country.
		Greg Brown, one of the masterminds behind the controversial and usually criticized country riffs left in 1998 and took his guitar with him.

	PRODUCTION VALUES: Home Cooking with Cake
		Although Cake's music may be hard to categorize, the band developed a loyal fan base and a number of hit songs simply by staying true to itself.
		Cake plays a singularly original and intelligent style of pop featuring sparse arrangements, wry lyrics, often-funky grooves, solo trumpet fills and lines, and melodic guitar and synth work.
		Cake's surprisingly modest setup was based around an Apple Macintosh G3 running a Digidesign Pro Tools LE system through Digi 001 and 002 interfaces.

		Although Hoobastank's original treatment for their second video for "Same Direction" had a guest-star spot for the mom of the fictional lost member of their band, Joan Jett's cameo in the clip was altered in the final version so that she's now playing a sister, not a mother.
