CAKE

So they played in a park in Lowell last night. The show was delayed by thunder/lightening by about 45 minutes, and even when they started playing, the rain and thunder/lightening kept persisting through much of the first set. The wait was totally worth it, as the weather made for quite a dramatic scene. I think John and the band were a little nervous with the inclement weather, talking about the guy from the Yardbirds that was killed onstage by electrocution back in the 60's. They played all the classics, as well as 4 really great new songs from the upcoming "completed" album. So much fun. They'll be back in September once the new album drops, playing the Orpheum, an indoor venue in downtown Boston.

Really wish they would come back to the SE - glad you had a great show though

YES! I have worked at many amazing shows in Lowell at Boarding House Park, and this was by far the best show I've ever been involved with. I was singing Mexico in the office all week long and I was overjoyed when they played it. Highlight for me, too Faithful.

Sorry for the shameless plug, but I wrote the sign that they posted on their website (http://www.cakemusic.com/news.html) referencing the Lowell show. It is great when your interests and your job are one in the same.

You guys wanted a southern date? You got it! Just received another transmission from the band:

This New Year's Eve, 2010, CAKE will be performing at the Austin Music Hall.
Joining us in the celebration are Austin's own White Ghost Shivers and Agent Ribbons.
Here's to ringing in the new year in Austin!

The fall tour starts Friday for these guys. Anybody going to the 2 Canadian dates, Burlington, Clifton Park, Philly, New York, New Haven or Boston? I'm very excited for this time seeing them because I scored 4th row at the Orpheum. These guys are so much fun live.

Another fantastic evening with CAKE Saturday night in Boston. They were in their element, thriving off the energy of the crowd. They played two sets, as they did earlier this summer in Lowell, and most of the songs were the same, but the new songs sounded better and more polished. Good times!

In other CAKE news, at long last the new album was discussed at Saturday's show. It's gonna be called "Showroom of Compassion" and will be released on 1/11/11.

Hell yeah, I absolutely love Cake. And I'm also dying to hear some new material / see them live some time.

P.S.: Here's a quote from their home page, it references Pearl Jam:

"What do these bands get paid to do? Make music...I don't give a shit about the band who wrote
"He's going the distance"s political views....I don't care about Pearl Jam's, Green Day's, Rage Against
the Machines or any other and....just shut up and play your music monkeys."
-- Ryan Free

Now who the hell is that Ryan Free guy?

P.P.S.: Hum, something went wrong. Sorry about the double post!
