Cake adds another layer of tour dates
Alt-rockers Cake have sketched out a fresh set of concert appearances as they continue to tour in support of their latest album, last year's "Pressure Chief."
The band will perform a benefit concert for Hurricane Katrina victims Oct. 10 in its hometown of Sacramento, CA, before heading out for a number of shows in other parts of California.
After a few late-October shows in the U.S. South--including an Oct. 30 appearance at the Voodoo Festival, moved to Memphis, TN, in the aftermath of Katrina--Cake will move overseas to begin a run of European dates, including five shows in Spain, where "Pressure Chief" is scheduled to hit stores Oct. 10.
A full itinerary of all Cake shows, both stateside and in Europe, can be found on the band's website.
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."
