Gabe Nelson
Christopher Gabriel Nelson is an American rock musician from Sacramento, California, best known as the former bassist of the alternative rock band CAKE. Nelson replaced the original bassist, Shon Meckfessel, soon after the band was formed but left the band himself before the release of their first album, ''Motorcade of Generosity'', which lists Victor Damiani as bassist. After the release of CAKE's second album, ''Fashion Nugget,'' Damiani left and Nelson re-joined. After playing bass and helping co-write songs on CAKE's subsequent studio albums, Nelson left the band again in late 2015. Nelson is lead vocalist and songwriter for the group ''Bellygunner'' along with his wife Peggy Lanza and musicians Thomas Monson, Steve Randall and Shawn Hale.

Prolonging The Magic
''Prolonging the Magic'' is the third studio album by American alternative rock band Cake. It was released on October 6, 1998, on Capricorn Records. The sole successful single was "Never There". The album was recorded after the departure of guitarist Greg Brown and features a rotating lineup of musicians to replace him. One of them, Xan McCurdy, became his full-time replacement. On its opening week, ''Prolonging the Magic'' sold about 44,000 copies, debuting at No. 33 on the ''Billboard'' 200 chart. On 28 September 1999 the album was certified platinum by the RIAA for shipments of one million copies. The album was given a parental advisory sticker not because of profanity but for Satanic-themed lyrics. Some copies do not feature a sticker, with the only difference being that the song "Satan Is My Motor" has been retitled "Motor". The song "Hem of Your Garment" was featured in the film ''Me, Myself & Irene''. Critical reception Allmusic wrote, "Supposedly their attempt to make ...

Cake (band) Members
Cake is a flour confection made from flour, sugar, and other ingredients, and is usually baked. In their oldest forms, cakes were modifications of bread, but cakes now cover a wide range of preparations that can be simple or elaborate, and which share features with desserts such as pastries, meringues, custards, and pies. The most common ingredients include flour, sugar, eggs, fat (such as butter, oil or margarine), a liquid, and a leavening agent, such as baking soda or baking powder. Common additional ingredients include dried, candied, or fresh fruit, nuts, cocoa, and extracts such as vanilla, with numerous substitutions for the primary ingredients. Cakes can also be filled with fruit preserves, nuts or dessert sauces (like custard, jelly, cooked fruit, whipped cream or syrups), iced with buttercream or other icings, and decorated with marzipan, piped borders, or candied fruit. Cake is often served as a celebratory dish on ceremonial occasions, such as weddings, an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Singer-songwriters From California
A singer-songwriter is a musician who writes, composes, and performs their own musical material, including lyrics and melodies. In the United States, the category is built on the folk-acoustic tradition, although this role has transmuted through different eras of popular music. Singer-songwriters often provide the sole accompaniment to an entire composition or song, typically using a guitar or piano. In the early 21st century, digital production tools such as GarageBand began to be used by singer-songwriters to compose their music. Definition and usage The label "singer-songwriter" (or "song-writer/singer") is used by record labels and critics to define popular-music artists who write and perform their own material, which is often self-accompanied - generally on acoustic guitar or piano. Such an artist performs the roles of composer, lyricist, vocalist, sometimes instrumentalist, and often self-manager. According to AllMusic, singer-songwriters' lyrics are often personal ...

Showroom Of Compassion
''Showroom of Compassion'' is the sixth full-length studio album from the band Cake, released on January 11, 2011. Produced by the band, it was the band's first studio album to be independently released. The musical style of ''Showroom of Compassion'' is grounded in the band's unique style of alternative rock, combining droll, often esoteric lyrics rife with word play and syncopation, catchy distorted guitar riffs, complex bass patterns, Moog and prominent use of trumpet. Cake's former lead guitarist, Greg Brown, makes a guest appearance on the song, "Bound Away", his first appearance on a Cake album since 1996's '' Fashion Nugget''. The album was the band's first since the release of ''Pressure Chief'' in 2004, the longest gap to date between two consecutive Cake studio albums. It debuted at number one on the ''Billboard'' 200 for one week, becoming the band's first album to do so. The album's first single, " Sick of You", reached No. 13 on the ''Billboard'' Rock Songs chart. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pressure Chief
''Pressure Chief'' is the fifth studio album by American band Cake. It was released on October 5, 2004, pushed back from its original August release date. It was produced by the band and recorded in a converted house in Sacramento. The lead single, "No Phone" peaked at #13 on the U.S. Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. The second single "Carbon Monoxide" garnered some airplay but failed to crack the Modern Rock Tracks top 40. The album was the band's second and last record under Columbia Records. The songs "She'll Hang the Baskets" and "Tougher Than It Is" were both originally written for Cake's 1998 record ''Prolonging the Magic''. A bonus disc, ''Extra Value'', was included in limited pre-orders of ''Pressure Chief''. On its opening week, ''Pressure Chief'' sold about 46,000 copies, debuting and peaking at number 17 on the ''Billboard'' 200. However, it fell to #55 the following week.
