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.
