Basher Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Just wondering if anyone on the board will be seeing Cake at Massey Hall this Tuesday night. And if so, have you heard of the opener (Northern State)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basher Posted October 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 These tickets were a littme more pricey - $50 with the service charges. That being said, I was able to grab a pair front row centre!! Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Large Marge Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 If I have any money left after this amazing weekend (Slip, Slip, Contact, DD, Stephen Franke) then I'll be there. Anyone else get totally fu©ked over when they played (not) Edgefest a couple of summer's ago? I've been waiting to see them since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 I saw them in Vancouver a couple years ago. They were fantastic! (The opener was "Gob", and I almost left by the time they finished irritating the audience, but Cake put everyone back into a great mood.) You'll love the show!

Jaimoe Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Gob and Cake? What a terrible double-bill. Cake and Soul Coughing, now that would be a double-bill to dream about. R.I.P. Soul Coughing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gentlemonkey Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Yeah, they are one of my faves too. Saw them in Florida at langerado, great show- mix of old and new. McCrea is one of the best frontmen ever. They make their sets up on the fly, which isnt common enough. The new album is really fun. I think their bass player is one of my favorites in the world. gabriel nelson? I had tickets to bluesfest, boo... I tried to get tickets to Massey Hall and there was only 3rd tier seats for like 45 bucks.. cant afford that on a tuesday from ottawa. bummer, i hope to see them again for sure. dont forget to keep a setlist for ole monkey man basher!

CyberHippie Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Gob and Cake? What a terrible double-bill. Cake and Soul Coughing, now that would be a double-bill to dream about. R.I.P. Soul Coughing. Totally right. Funny because I was listening to both of those bands around the same time and in my mind put them in a pretty similar light. Although they are different. My only knowledge of Cake is their first album "Fashion Nugget". I didn't really think anyone else liked this guys. But I think FN is a great album. Are their other albums similar?

gentlemonkey Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 nugget is definitley their best, but i like them all. prolonging the magic would be second best, imo, then pressure cheif, motercade, comfort eagle in descending order.

StoneMtn Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 I always found Soul Coughing to be very "Cake-esque", too. I've often listened to them one after the other.I hate to disagree with you gentlemonkey, but I think I like their albums in this descending order:1. Comfort Eagle2. Motorcade of Generosity3. Prolonging the Magic4. Fashion Nugget... and I've actually never heard of Pressure Chief. Is that their most recent album? That's cool, because I always felt there wasn't enough Cake out there!Oh ya. One more thing. It is hard to describe how horrible it was to see Gob open for Cake, but the only way I can describe it is by saying it compared to the time I was forced to sit through Moist before Neil Young.
