About: Cake

Formed in Sacramento in 1991, Cake have spent three decades crafting a genre-defying mix of rock, country and funk, with McCrea's dry wit and DiFiore's trumpet giving the band a sound that belongs to no one else. Platinum albums and a Billboard 200 number one sit alongside a reputation for sharp, politically charged live shows.
