Anyone selling Chicago tickets?

I’d love to see their Chicago show at the Salt Shed but can’t spring for the available premium tickets. Posting here on the off chance anyone is looking to sell to a fellow fan. Thanks in advance!

I Want To Hold You (Responsible)

I previously posted that CAKE had a new original song they played live (https://www.reddit.com/r/Cakeband/s/7vs6CYfHrV) so when they announced a new song on the compilation album Songs for Sex (https://open.spotify.com/track/5SMydTMtNUn7h1hKNtclV1?si=UMax1inXQz2um0GwuS3dng&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A3YOaQQo6HwSvykNOqCaTvb) I figured it’d be the same song I heard live.

It’s not! It’s ANOTHER original CAKE song! Enjoy your Friday :)

Cake vinyl

Are the reissues going to include all of the lps, covers and live albums or should I just throw money at the rsd box set

Anyone seen Cake have a bad live show?

A mystery that's been on my mind for for years... I love Cake. I saw them do a show in Manhattan in the early '00s... and it was so bad! The band never seemed to find its groove. John sat down on the stage at one point. Do they just have bad shows sometimes? Was someone in the band going through some things? Was John sick? Has anyone seen this from them? Was anyone else there and remembers this show?

CAKE’s New Song

CAKE played a new original song (and a George Jones cover) last night at the Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, CA! The arena just opened and CAKE was the first to play there so maybe that’s why they decided to debut a new song.

I thought it sounded great! Good lyrics (vaguely about climate change and a billionaire watching it all from space) and a really pretty melody.

Hopefully they’ll record and release it soon :)

Anyone sneak a good video from the ATL show?

I was at barrier all night and security was pretty strict about no recording. If anyone has a good video of the performance, I’d love to see it!

ATL and the weather

So, any thoughts on the Atlanta show getting cancelled due to the incessant rain and likely venue mudfest? Maybe the show gets moved to another venue (Center Stage, maybe)?

I Will Survive. Was this not an awesome cover? What do you think about it?

Wheels (on the bus)

Wheels is one of my favorite Cake songs. Anyone else notice how it’s similar to the children’s song
Wheels on the Bus, but played with minor chords?

Long time listener, first time caller

I've been a CAKE fan since MS* but just now going to my first show (Atlanta 9/28). *My good bud queued up Going the Distance on the CD player one afternoon bus ride and I've been hooked every since.

I got VIP tickets bc f standing the whole time in the GA late summer. Anyone have some tips, lessons, stories from CAKE shows in the past?

Do they sign things? Is it worth bringing one of my vinyl covers with me?

Hem of Your Garment different on Spotify?

I grew up listening to Prolonging the Magic, it was the soundtrack of my high school experience. When I finally got spotify a few years ago I made several playlists, one of them being for CAKE. As I was listening to the album while doing so, I could sing along with every single song and even got the old "hyah's" and such in the right place.

Except for Hem of Your Garment. It immediately felt off. Like it's the same song but the pacing is different or something. Then when I was moving I found my old cd collection and thought I'd settle it by listening to the original. Except when I found the case for Prolonging the Magic, it was empty.

I just really need to know if I'm crazy here or not. Can anyone with access to the original and spotify confirm one way or the other for me, please? You would have my eternal gratitude.

Knock Three Times?

Does anyone else remember hearing a Cake cover of Knock Three Times by Tony Orlando? I swear I had this on a mixtape at some point but I can’t find it ANYWHERE! Am I just crazy and this never actually happened? Or if it did, where could I find it? It was so good!

Hey y’all! I’m going to their show!

I’ve never been to a lawn concert and I’m wondering what the etiquette may be? My dad and I are going on Tuesday and it’ll be lawn seating? Idk I’ve never been. Tips and advice would help a ton

When does the new album come out

They teased a live concert and a new album summer/later this year. Just wondering if there was a released date set for either? It looks like the live concert is available on Nuggs but not elsewhere.

Need Assistance: 2011 Full Show from "Live on Letterman"

Hi Cake fans! I'm in need of your collective wisdom. I'm on a quest to locate the complete 2011 "Live on Letterman" webcast featuring our beloved band, "Cake". A friend, who's a die-hard Cake admirer, would treasure this.

For clarity, "Live on Letterman" isn't the traditional Letterman show. From 2009 to 2015, it showcased full-length concerts online at the Ed Sullivan Theater - a deviation from customary late-night brief performances.

Finding the full Cake show has been tricky, with only snippets scattered online. I've scoured numerous platforms, archives, and forums, but the complete concert seems elusive.

So, here's my plea: If you happen to have this webcast or can guide me where to find it, it'd be a huge help. Even potential leads to lesser-known resources would be a blessing.

In these challenging times, my friend could use some cheering up and this show would be perfect. Your contribution would be immensely appreciated.

Thanks a bunch in advance!

If the Big Lebowski had chosen Cake for their soundtrack

I think it works pretty well. I hope y’all enjoy this concept piece.
