CAKE


Setting out from Sacramento in 1991, CAKE quickly graduated from packing local venues to becoming a favorite in the thriving San Francisco scene, their off-kilter yet infectious amalgam of funk, soul, pop, jazz, rap and country spawning several monster radio hits, including “The Distance,” “Short Skirt/Long Jacket,” and an unconventional reworking of Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive.” Seventeen years from their inception, CAKE is still an outsider - defiantly and proudly cutting their own path.

OPENING ACT:

 

Winterpills

 

Critically praised as a mirror of sorrows and a beacon of hope, the music of Winterpills - true to its name - is medicine for weary hearts. At the core of Central Chambers, their newest album and third overall, the Northampton, Mass. quintet maintains its signature chamber-indie ambience while exploring new grounds sonically and lyrically. In it, you'll hear production running the gamut from boombox lo-fi to crisp studio sonorousness; dense rockers balanced by quiet hymns; and an overall diversity in instruments and textures. All of this backs the wandering words of songwriter Philip Price, and here we can see him condensing his meditative lyrical approach into mantras contemplating the frailty of humanity.
