See Cake at Red Rocks With Ticket Tuesday!

Cake is one of those bands that is fun to sing along with and you can sing with them at Red Rocks on July 28th if you score tickets with Ticket Tuesday! Listen all day for the cue to call and you could be watching Cake perform live in one of Colorado's greatest venues.The band came up with the name "Cake"; rather than referring to the foodstuff, the name is meant to be "like when something insidiously becomes a part of your life...[we] mean it more as something that cakes onto your shoe and is just sort of there until you get rid of it."

Cake incorporates a wide range of genres into its music, including country music, Mariachi, rock, funk, Iranian folk music and hip-hop.McCrea(Lead Singer) himself cites Hank Williams, Tom Zé, the Golden Gate Quartet and Sly and the Family Stone as particular influences.The band is most often noted for three things: the prominence of DiFiore's trumpet lines,McCrea's ironic, sarcastic lyrics, and his "droll, deadpan ... monotone" vocals.
