Spanning over two decades, CAKE’s most notable singles include “Never There”, “Rock ‘n’ Roll Lifestyle”, “The Distance” and “Short Skirt/Long Jacket”. Looking forward to playing the band’s hometown, CAKE lead vocalist and founding member, John McCrea said, “There is a musically enhanced timeline from our beginnings in Sacramento through to all our other performance experiences around the world. Performing in our city of origin always brings about a better understanding of how our sound was developed in this one-of-a-kind place.”
Also on the bill is Of Monsters and Men. Hailing from Iceland, this five-member band formed in 2010. Their debut album My Head is an Animal went Platinum in the U.S. last year. Their album, Beneath the Skin is scheduled to be released on June 9th.
