Cake is an American rock band from Sacramento, California, consisting of singer John McCrea, trumpeter/keyboardist Vince DiFiore, guitarist Xan McCurdy, bassist Daniel McCallum, and drummer Todd Roper. The band has been through many lineup changes but in all of them McCrea and DiFiore have been consistently in the band since the start. The band has also been noted for McCrea's droll sarcastic lyrics and deadpan vocals, and their wide-ranging musical influences, including norteño, country music, mariachi, disco, rock, funk, folk music, and hip-hop.
