Cake and Ben Folds - Bonner

Thursday, September 05, 2019 - Thursday, September 05, 2019

Best known for their ubiquitous hit “The Distance,” Cake epitomizes the postmodern, irony-drenched aesthetic of ’90s geek rock. Their sound freely mixes and matches pastiches of widely varying genres white boy funk, hip-hop, country, new wave pop, jazz, college rock, and guitar rock, with a particular delight in the clashes that result. Ben Folds, widely regarded as a major music influencer, has created an enormous body of genre-bending music that includes pop albums with Ben Folds Five, multiple solo albums, and numerous collaborative records.
