1 Who would’ve thought country and funk would’ve gone together? No one. but they do in (Jake's hands. The Arrtertcan outfit also like to throw rap. rock and ran into the. equation tor a sound like an unhrnged Eels or a less shit They Might Be Giants.
2 The trumpet Cake are one of the very low hands to. erm. trumpet the use of tlte trumpet in popular music. The trumpet is a much underrated instrument and is a damn sight cooler than the saxophone. Trust us.
3 ‘I Will Survive’ The band are best known for their cover of Gloria Gaynor's disco classrc rrt 1996. A languorous country shuttle with a fantastic trumpet solo (see above). it caused a stink irt tlte US front people who thought they were taking the piss out of disco. They weren't; they love disco. Yanks. eh’?
4 They’ve got a sense of humour The video for ‘No Phone' had the song being played on headphones to random people in the street. who then gave a running commentary ol what they thought.
5 Yet they’re also angry Their website it lull of links to political causes and diatribes on everything from pollution to obesity. 'We're pretty hatefilled.‘ said srnger John McCrea in a recent interview. ‘We hate you. We tucking hate you.“ Calm down. brother.
