Stephanie KoithanPopular '90s alt-rock band Cake brought its quirky-yet-cool sound to The Espee Thursday night. The band demonstrated its enduring funkiness with a setlist packed with memorable tracks including"The Distance" and"Short Skirt/Long Jacket."
Several covers made the cut, including Gloria Gaynor's"I Will Survive" and Black Sabbath's"War Pigs." The band also did its beloved take on the standard"Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps," written in 1947 as"Quizás, Quizás, Quizás" by Cuban songwriter Osvaldo Farrés and later recorded by Doris Day, among others.
The Espee was packed with"Betty Crockers," as Cake fans call themselves. The mostly Gen-X Betties were true die-hards, singing along to every word of even the most obscure tracks. Though Cake has experienced some member turnover, multi-instrumentalist Vincent Robert DiFiore Jr. has been its MVP since 1991, contributing the band's iconic trumpet sound as well as keyboard, background vocals and some percussion.
