Based on 21 concert reviews, the critic consensus is that The Sea and Cake is rated as an entertaining live performer, with many notable strengths. The Sea and Cake concert reviews describe live shows and performances as rhythmic.
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.
It’s particularly true with the relentless focus on the youth, from Baby Boomers to Generation X to Millennials to whatever is coming next to make the Millennials feel old.
Her first time playing in Portland, the New York-based singer-songwriter, onstage with guitarist Eliot Kessel, began with New Myth off early 2011’s experimentally-tinged Grown Unknown, her nine song debut LP.
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.
