Indie rock band with deadpan style to perform summer concert on Peoria riverfront
Cake, the alternative indie rock band known for its deadpan style and unique sound, is set to perform at Peoria Riverfront Park as part of their 2025 North American Tour. The band, formed in 1991 as a response to the popularity of grunge, has carved out a niche for themselves by blending various genres and influences in their music.
One of Cake’s breakout albums, “Fashion Nugget,” achieved double platinum status driven by the success of the hit song “The Distance.” Their most recent album, “Showroom of Compassion,” released in 2011, debuted at the top spot on the Billboard Top 200 chart. The album was praised by The New Yorker Magazine for its “deadpan brilliance.” Currently, Cake is in the process of working on their ninth studio album, which is slated for release later this year.
In addition to their music, Cake has also been involved in social causes. The band contributed a new song titled “Hold You (Responsible)” to the Noise For Now compilation album “Songs for Sex.” This album is part of the artist response to Project 2025, which aims to promote bodily autonomy, reproductive freedoms, and personal privacy.
The upcoming concert by Cake at Peoria Riverfront Park promises to be a memorable event for fans of the band and indie rock enthusiasts alike. The band’s distinctive style and engaging performances have garnered them a loyal following over the years.
