Cake at the Keswick Theatre, Glenside PA 4.18.11
Some may call it “geek rock”, some may call them the “greenest” band on the planet, some may call them post-alternative rock. Whatever the moniker, the band that calls themselves Cake knows how to put on a show. The seasoned veterans put on a monster show Monday night at the Keswick.
The normally tame Keswick crowd was brought to life by the band. John McCrea, the lead singer/songwriter lead the charge, seemingly almost forcing the crowd to get involved. Although the Cake faithful were more than happy to oblige…
The band that has notoriously been anti-establishment, anti-big business for 20 years now has slowly but surely built a loyal following that like to have a good time.
Cake’s new album, Showroom of Compassion, marks its 6th carefully crafted, self-released, studio album. (Thier albums are known to take months, even years. As McCrea puts it “this band is a domocracy, and democracy takes a long time.) It is a great one….be sure to check it out if you get a chance.
Here is the setlist from Monday night:
