CAKE took their Unlimited Sunshine tour to NYC this past week for two nights. Me and a few Triads enjoyed the Thursday night show at the new yet awesome venue Terminal 5. Despite frontman John McCrea's obvious and admitted sickness, and declaration to only play songs which feature him singing in his lower register, it was a kickass show. A mix of rock, pop, trumpets, manifestos, vibraslaps, "oh yeah"s, "all right"s, and jewish Waldos. Here's the setlist.SET:
