Bio
The Sea and Cake is a pop/rock group with a pronounced jazz influence, which formed in 1994 in Chicago, Illinois. The group's name came from a willful reinterpretation (in the wake of an accidental miscomprehension) of The C in Cake, a song by Gastr del Sol.

Touring in support of their latest album Everybody (QRO review) The Sea and Cake did not skimp on their older material which actually composed over half the set and they drew at least one piece from every one of their six prior albums.

A typically nonchalant West Coast crowd carries on its conversations but by the time the Rutili-led Califone has finished its opening song the audience has pushed forward struck dumb by the Chicago quintet's ornate hymnology.
