Video: "Mustache Man (Wasted)," Cake (filmed in Portland!)

By MATTHEW SINGER

Hey, remember a couple months ago when we told you that somehow-still-popular Sacramento alterna-funk beatniks Cake were in Portland, looking to cast locals with prominent facial hair and/or a vintage conversion van for a video to accompany its typically detached'n'wacky single "Mustache Man (Wasted)"? Well, here is that video (and just in time for the West Coast Mustache and Beard Championships this Saturday at the Crystal Ballroom!). And, naturally for a song about mustaches and magic conversion vans, it's got a '70s disco theme. Oh, those crazy Cake boys.
