CAKE

CAKE, the Sacramento, CA-based band that continues to maintain a wealth of originality, is confirmed to perform at Vina Robles Amphitheatre, Thursday, July 11. Tickets are available via Ticketmaster, Friday, March 8, at 10AM.

If Hank Williams Sr. and Sly Stone were having a party together, and they played AC/DC records backwards… that would be this band. CAKE's adherence to their original guiding principles has only grown stronger over the years. Originally formed 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 evident peers in sound or perspective. In addition to writing, arranging, producing, and performing their own music, they have taught themselves to engineer their recording projects in their Sacramento-based solar-powered studio, which regularly 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, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart and was touted as “deadpan brilliance” by The New Yorker Magazine. While seamlessly blending many genres and influences, CAKE truly issues forth a sound and vision unlike any other band.

The band is currently at work on their ninth album due for release during autumn 2024.  Additionally, there will be a limited edition “Live from Folsom” album issued during summer 2024.
