Why Cake is headlining this tour instead of, say, playing fraternity after hours parties at IU, is beyond me – and thanks to the Flaming Lips, probably beyond most of the people who attended the show. Cake basically has one song. Remember the Simpsons episode where Marge finds a designer evening dress on the red tag rack at a department store, then uses her sewing skills to turn it into a cocktail dress, sports outfit, and finally a bikini to suit the various functions she must attend to gain membership at the Springfield Country Club? Cake has done the same thing: infinite variations on the same essential pattern.
