While seamlessly blending numerous genres and influences, CAKE issues forth a sound and vision unlike any other band.

Wander & Rest Tip
After a fantastic night enjoying the iconic rhythms and deadpan brilliance under the stars at the Amp, leave the vibrant concert energy behind and take a relaxing drive back across the bridge to your Vilano Beach sanctuary. On your route home from the venue, consider stopping by 36 Granada in the historic district to visit the French Pantry collective for a premium late-night beverage, or swing past 180 Vilano Grill & Pizza to pick up a hot, comforting slice just moments before pulling into your neighborhood. Once you are safely back at your private Wander & Rest retreat, wash away the concert fatigue and transition into absolute coastal luxury. Deeply soothe your muscles inside our private sauna, melt away the day’s physical tension in the bubbling hot tub, or float peacefully under the night sky in the pristine heated pool before curling up in the ultra-comfortable indoor lounge areas for a deep, restful sleep.
