Alternative-Rock act formed in 1991 in Sacramento, California USA, the group led by vocalist John McCrea originally consisted of guitarist Greg Brown, bassist Sean McFessel, trumpeter Vince DiFiore and drummer Frank French.

Shortly before the band released its first single, Gabe Nelson replaced McFesse; in 1993 they released on their own "Motorcade Of Generosity" which was later re-issued by Capricorn Records, Nelson and French left before the band embarked on the first tour and were replaced by bassist Victor Damiani and drummer Todd Roper; in 1995 "Rock 'N' Roll Lifestyle?" has cracked Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart reaching the #31.
A year later Cake's second effort, "Fashion Nugget", climbed into the top 40 of The Billboard 200 Albums chart and the single "The Distance" shot to #4 on Modern Rock chart, the album contained another Modern Rock top 40 hit: the ironic re-worked of the classic dance-tune "I Will Survive".
Over the course of 1997 the group lost both Brown and Damiani, when bassist Gabe Nelson returned to the fold the band began recording their third LP, "Prolonging The Magic", which arrived in October of 1998, it reached the #33 on The Billboard Top 200 chart highlighted by their best charting single to date, "Never There", the track climbed to the top of the Modern Rock chart, two more single cuts, "Sheep Go To Heaven" and "Let Me Go" peaked respectively at #16 and #28 spots in the same chart.
Following the album's release the band added new guitarist Xan McCurdy to the line-up, Cake resurfaced in July of 2001 with "Comfort Eagle" which was released by Columbia Records, their fourth effort hit #13 in U.S. Top 200 Albums chart and crashed into the top 10 in Canadian chart, its main single, "Short Skirt/Long Jacket" peaked at #7 on The Modern Rock chart.
