Seventeen years on from their inception, CAKE is still an outsider – defiantly and proudly cutting their own path. Both their music and their way of operating in the ever-evolving marketplace are fueled by the same core principles of self reliance, democracy, and integrity that inspired their formation.
Win a pair of tickets to see Cake perform at the Les Schwab Amphitheater in Bend on Saturday, May 25 supported by Built To Spill.
In 2010, The xx won the Mercury Music Prize for their debut album. Their second album, ‘Coexist’ is an album of confident adult reflection. Angels, sung by Romy, is a perfectly distilled love song. Its counter is Fiction led by Oliver, a bittersweet ballad that’s strength lies in naming its fear. What has changed for The xx? Nothing, and everything. Older and wiser, surer yet still so tender, ‘Coexist’ finds itself on the other side of heartbreak, when the light returns.
Win a pair of tickets to see The xx perform on Monday, May 27 at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall.
