Cake keeps 'Pressure' on with summer concerts
Alt-rock outfit Cake will log some time on the road this summer as it continues to back its latest album, last year's "Pressure Chief."
So far, the group has lined up a series of July and August headlining shows and festival appearances, including a July 23 set at Lollapalooza in Chicago.
The itinerary kicks off July 5 in the Kansas City area, where the group will open for Weezer.
Released last October, "Pressure Chief" debuted in the Top 20 of The Billboard 200 album chart. The set features the single "No Phone," the video for which is streaming at Cake's official website.
"Pressure Chief," which follows 2001's "Comfort Eagle," 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."
