Cake (typically spelled CAKE, by having tons majuscule) occurs as band from either Sacramento, California, formed in 1991. It will have many hits throughout a 1990s and 2000s from their five recorded albums.

Although their music is typically classified when alternative rock, Cake commonly combines multiple musical genres, such as funk, pop, jazz, rap, and country. Cake's music features droll lyrics rife by having word play and syncopation (laconically-voiced in the rap-rather style by lead vocalist/guitarist John McCrea), catchy distorted guitar riffs (courtesy, until 1998, of guitarist Greg Brown and, until 1997, bass player Victor Damiani), and the solo horn (played by Vince DiFiore). Their unique musical genre has been in comparison They Might Be Giants and the Talking Heads. Damiani left a band around 1997, replaced by Gabe Nelson. Greg Black left inside 1998, replaced by Xan McCurdy. Todd Roper left the band to focus in parentage when recording Comfort Eagle.

Their large hits keep around involved "The Distance", "Never There", "Sheep Go to Heaven" "Rock 'n' Roll Lifestyle", and "Short Skirt/Long Jacket", and an alternative retake of Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive".

In addition, Cake headlined a Unlimited Sunshine Tour festival in the summer of 2002 among an eyebrow-raising eclectic mix of bands including indie rock superstars Modest Mouse, The Flaming Lips, De La Soul, Latin techno fusion band Kinky and bluegrass group The Hackensaw Boys.

Cake's fifth album, Pressure Chief, was released in October 5, 2004.
