CAKE is the Sacramento, CA based band that continues to maintain a wealth of originality. CAKE’s adherence to their earliest guiding principles has only grown stronger over the years. Originally formed as a somewhat antagonistic answer to the grunge movement, CAKE’s democratic processes, defiant self-reliance, and ever-inventive music has made them a nation-state unto themselves, with no evident peers in sound or perspective. In addition to writing, arranging, producing, and performing their music in their Sacramento-based solar-powered studio that regularly generates more power than is needed to run it (causing the building’s electrical meter to run in reverse).

CAKE’s most recent album, Showroom of Compassion, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart and was touted as “deadpan brilliance” by The New Yorker Magazine. While seamlessly blending multiple genres and influences, CAKE issues forth a sound and vision unlike any other band. The band is currently at work on their ninth album due for release in 2026. The album will include the song “Billionaire In Space” which the band debuted during a Texas Public Radio session last autumn.
