Jake's Hacienda

¡Hola! all you Cake fanatics who are visiting this humble little web page. Well, in case you hadn't guessed already this would be my Cake site. For those who don't know Cake is: John McCrea on vocals, acoustic and electric guitar, organ, and moog; Vincent di Fiore on trumpet, and background vocals; Xan McCurdy on electric guitar, and organ; Todd Roper on drums, and percussion; and last but not least, Gabe Nelson on bass guitar, mandolin, electric guitar, and piano. Well, one of the reasons why Cake is me and many of my friends favorite band is because of their dexterity to be able to switch back and forth between a variety of different musical genres while still keeping their own signature style of music noticeable. In my mind one of the most damaging things to happen to Cake was when Greg Brown left, I mean John is a musical genius and he does a great job with the songs but Greg really helped to make the guitar come out and really shine. Greg was really able to improvise and he made the songs great with little on-a-whim "solos" in almost every song. Another thing I believe that Cake has lost in P.T.M. is that Vincent is hardly doing any trumpet parts now. If you listen to M.O.G. or F.N. the trumpet played off the rest of the band so well and Vincent is one of the most brilliant trumpeteers I have heard (me being a trumpeteer and guitarist) he is definitely one of the best. Well that's my Cake editorial.
