FORMED: 1994

Cake's all-purpose eclectic rock appeared nationwide in 1995, when Capricorn released their debut album Motorcade of Generosity. The Sacramento-based band originally included guitarist Greg Brown, bassist Victor Damiani, trumpeter Vince Di Fiore, vocalist and guitarist John McCrea, and drummer Todd Roper. In 1996, Cake scored their first radio hit with "The Distance," which eventually pushed its accompanying album Fashion Nugget to platinum sales status. Consisting of McCrea, Di Fiore, Roper, guitarist Xan McCurdy and bassist Gabe Nelson, Cake toured in support of their third album Prolonging the Magic two years later, notching the hit "Never There." In the spring of 2000, the band jumped ship to Columbia, and their former label Capricorn immediately set about preparing a greatest-hits collection, which was released later that fall. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
