The Jimmy Cake plus guests
Presented by State.ie, The Jimmy Cake have always been one of Ireland’s most innovative and challenging bands. Formed in 2000 from the simmering ashes of the recently defunct Das Madman, they were only initially to play a one off show in Eamonn Dorans. But people kept coming, and the music kept getting louder. Now, with 3 critically acclaimed albums behind them, they’re off once again, writing and playing an entire new set, with a view to releasing an album VERY SOON.
Following on from 2008s critically acclaimed Spectre and Crown, The Jimmy Cake are back, with a new set and a new sound. Reduced from a cast of hundreds to a slimmed down six piece, we find the Jimmy Cake’s music equally stripped back: where once there were strings, accordion and tubas there is now the esoteric appeal of the vintage synths and tightly coiled, pounding rhythms. Guitars are back, and they mean to do some business. Headlifting, powerful, hypnotic, the Jimmy Cake have embraced change once more, and, it’s with this feckless bravado in mind that they embark on their latest adventure. Come with them.
