Cake In 15

Dear Four Humors, (With apologies to everyone.) Though it may be an indelicate topic If you’re seeking the intellectually erotic Try getting spanked with the New Yorker, But if you’re looking for a corker, Some light psychology to fix your mood Before it sinks in to a winter brood, Then get down to the Bedlam [...]

Raw Shakespeare or Post-Nothing Photo courtesy Ten Thousand Things There is something to the style of a Ten Thousand Things production- with the lights up, seated in a circle, with actors and audience in plain view- that is as much group therapy as it is theatre. The immediacy of text and action presented in the [...]

Time once again to welcome P.O.S. back to town, his star ever ascendant. He has been on the road almost all year- the photo here is from the Coachella music festival where he was a last minute addition but rocked a sizeable crowd, as photographer Staciaann can attest- but he came back even stronger for [...]

Pray for Saul Williams. The company he keeps indicates some form of Stockholm Syndrome or extreme personality changes or serious lapse of judgement. The Afro-Punk sponsored show at the Varsity Theater started off great with sets from locals Dearling Physique and No Bird Sing, which simply stoked the high expectations for the ground-breaking spoken word [...]

CakeIn15 loves The Hold Steady. We make no bones about it. We love watching Craig Finn get all wound up and bounce around, getting knocked down by Tad Kubler’s guitar licks, Franz Nicolay’s mustache, Galen’s meatheaded bass and Bobby Drake, well dammit, we love him too.

Vowels In Space or The Rainbow Is The Journey Sandwiched in a full night (including rehearsals for m a r s p r o j e c t and the Dearling Physique tour sendoff at the Kitty Kat Club) I managed to squeeze in to the Cedar Cultural Center for the kickoff of the Global [...]

Jayber Crow at Java Jacks – Eugene, Oregon (manifest destiny) from CakeIn15 on Vimeo. It was so good to see Pete & Zach in that space.  The old school Mad Ripple Hootenanny feeling of love, acceptance, and overall well-being slammed into me during their show – and I realized how much I’ve missed that swell [...]

When Myth Nightclub announced it was shutting down, there was both some schadenfreude (How terrible was that venue? An old warehouse out in the suburbs that made a living of Bret Michaels and that type of ilk? Gah) and some disappointment (If a place that bad could survive, it seemed to bode well for the [...]

Taking a well-deserved break from moving and unpacking (and again, thank you thank you thank you to all those who helped us move) Cake In 15 hit up the Cabooze parking lot in time to catch the outdoor Cloud Cult show. It was the final show of 2009 for Cloud Cult, Connie Minowa, painter and [...]

A while back we posted up this kick-ass video for “Dead and Gone” by Twin Cities rockabilly trio Reckless Ones. These guys are all young guns, but also experienced, coming out of outfits like horror rockers Treehouse Bordello and the experimental collective Plastic Chord. They were kind enough to forward over their new disc Make [...]
