Cake set to spread a little more Sunshine

Alt-rockers Cake will haul their Unlimited Sunshine Tour out of storage and hit the road in January. Along for the ride this time around will be Tegan & Sara , Gogol Bordello and Eugene Mirman .

Next year's tour--which returns after a three-year hiatus--will kick off Jan. 19 in Worcester, MA. eight dates are currently lined up, mainly in large cities, and presale tickets are currently available at Cake's website. General onsales begin to roll out Saturday (12/3).

2002's inaugural Unlimited Sunshine Tour featured Cake heading a lineup that included hip-hop act De La Soul, along with Modest Mouse and The Flaming Lips. The following year's installment featured an equally eclectic musical lineup, as Cake shared the bill with Cheap Trick, garage rockers The Detroit Cobras and assorted country and bluegrass acts.

Cake's most recent album was 2004's "Pressure Chief." The album, the band's fifth full-length release, was recorded in a converted house in Cake's hometown of Sacramento, and is the first album for which the band didn't use a conventional recording studio.

Fronted by vocalist John McCrea, Cake rose to fame in the mid-'90s with its breakthrough hit, "The Distance," a cut featured on 1996's "Fashion Nugget."
