If you are serious... Pay them a regular living wage... Remove the whole caveat that waiting staff is somehow different from any other job.

It's lyrics from a song called "Break stuff" by Limp Bizkit.

Great song, totally forgot about this video... almost like I watched it for the first time again.

You don't hear a good bloodhound gang reference often.

I'm trying to make it happen. I had bought a domain (cake.army) and was hosting an instance... but then I went on vacation for a couple weeks and it crashed due to lack of space... so I said screw that and just started another here on lemmy.world

I was trying to post once every day just to make sure people saw it was actually active... or at least one person was posting stuff.

I found out about every vinyl for sale, new shirts... even the damn concert by using /r/cakeband... I need that still. Even if that means I am the one constantly checking the website for new info.

My wife and I love that song too. One of my favorite songs to play for her on the guitar. Right up there with Mexico.

I really like the trumpet in that.

It's funny as CAKE seems to be one of the few bands I can think of that I truly feel I like just about every single one of their songs. Choosing a favorite is a bit like pulling a name out of a hat, but you just get slightly more excited about a few of them.

I have seen them 3 times, 2019 and 2023. I really liked them all. Their stage presence isn't all that amazing though. It's essentially like going to a polished bar band... with a singer that often sings completely outside of the rhythm/bar at nearly every start.

Regardless, I will forever love their music. I may stop going to their shows if they go too far down hill. Right now, I have a theory he gets fairly drunk back stage and he sings so slow due to being a bit too drunk... but I have no proof. =)

Just saw them in New York and Philly... can confirm. =)

I enjoyed the live shows. I can understand how some may not though. I have tickets to see them again, so... Yeah. I especially like it because it's just them.

It's funny you say that. I would say the same, but for probably 10 plus years, short skirt long jacket was an instant skip for me.. I don't know if it was due to being played so much or what... But I always loved the distance. Probably nostalgia held it together.

Was there as well, definitely one of their best on this tour.

1. New York and Philly, Chicago, Fort Wayne and Indianapolis.

Not sure which was worse. New York has a hard curfew and Chicago seemed to lack excitement, which made them play a little less... I think.

It was really just a target of opportunity. More of a "once in a lifetime thing". Their "we don't have a set list" schtick was a little disappointing when I realized they played the same 90 percent every show. Was hoping for a more unique show each time.

Fairly certain you can no longer talk to a merchant now with one character and them rob them blind with another. Bummer

Edit: not sure what happened, but tried a different merchant and it worked. I couldn't do it at the grove blacksmith guy after the patch, but I could before.

They are definitely a unique sound. I love them. If you know of a band just like them, let me know... I would love more. :)

Loved that they played Pentagram on their recent tour. Really great song that I thought might not be played due to content... like playing "I bombed Korea"
