Who Don't Like Cake?!!
I got a call from Jason late Saturday afternoon. He didn’t have any plans, so I drove down to Chicago to hang out. When you live the life of leisure, you do such things.
The Guinness Oyster Fest was being held at the New City YMCA, the same place the Flaming Lips played last summer. Lucky for us, Cake was performing. Unfortunately, no oysters this year. The city wouldn’t allow them due to some health risk.
The show was good, but very short. They played for slightly less than a hour, including the encore. Their set included a lot of new stuff off of Pressure Chief. I can’t remember the entire set list, but they played: Wheels, No Phone, Carbon Monoxide, Love You Madly, Sheep Go To Heaven, Never There, Stickshifts and Saftybelts and The Distance. Surprisingly, Short Skirt / Long Jacket wasn’t played. They drew a big crowd, tickets were only $10 and it was a beautiful night.
