Cake Like / The Amps / An Experiment On A Bird In The Air Pump by cathedral_heat

Cake Like - Bum Leg

Cake Like's first record Delicious from 1994 is great. I heard this track 'Bum Leg' on the radio and went to the record shop the next day. It was not so easy to find because it was only available on Japanese import. It's one of my favourite records ever.

Cake Like - Bruiser Queen

Bruiser Queen is Cake Like's second LP from 1997. It's less noisy than the first one and more tense. After this they recorded a third LP in 1999, Goodbye, So What? but they had lost their urgency by then.

Cake Like - Lorraine's Car

Single before the Bruiser Queen album. Funny b-sides.

Cake Like - Delicious

When Cake Like recorded their first LP they were playing together for just a couple of months. They were in artschool and started this as a schoolproject to get points. They found guitars and a drumkit in school and just started playing. Their boyfriends were in bands and they wanted to be better.

The songs on "Delicious' are simple, raw and tense. Lately An Experiment On A Bird In The Air Pump remind me of Cake Like.

It was released in 1994 on a Japanese label and was available on import. I remember finding it in a little record shop in Antwerp. It is one of my favourite records since.
