Cake tour dates are currently scheduled internationally in support of their most recent album Showroom of Compassion, which was released in January, 2011. Cake became one of our favorite alt-rock bands in the mid-90s, with their incorporation of guitar riffs, trumpets, and the vibraslap. Combine that with John McCrea's rough and steady vocals and Cake became a staple on modern rock stations throughout the country.

The band self-produced and self-released their debut single "Rock 'n' Roll LIfestyle" which managed to make an impression at #31 on the Billboard US Modern Rock Tracks survey. In light of the success, the band recorded and released their debut LP Motorcade of Generosity in 1994, and the band was picked up by Capricorn Records. Cake released their breakthrough sophomore album Fashion Nugget in 1996 which featured the hit single "The Distance". The single became a staple on rock radio and garnered the album Platinum status. They returned two years later with Prolonging the Magic, which featured the hit "Never There" and gave the band another Platinum record. Their fourth album Comfort Eagle was released in 2001 and featured the summer-jam "Short Skirt/Long Jacket". Cake tour dates were booked on the Unlimited Sunshine Tour in 2002.
