The Jimmy Cake

From Thumpedia

Das Madman v.2, formed in 2000. Headlifting instrumental music. Possibly Dublin's largest rock band with 9 members. Smorgasbord of influences, from avant-noise to classic pop, results in unique sound, combining structural and harmonic complexities with tranced out riffs and tunes to die for.

In the last seven years, The Jimmy Cake have become one of the most captivating acts ever to emerge from Ireland. With a line up that is nine strong and a unique combination of instruments, The Jimmy Cake are a rarity by their very existence, but it is their ability to straddle delicate melody and ferocious power that has won them a dedicated and passionate following.

No doubt said following will be pleased to hear that, after a hiatus of Rip Van Winkle proportions, wherein the Cake were busy wrangling with their personal demons, their various wedding invitations, certain guitar, sax and banjo sized holes in their number and the lengthy recording, re-recording and further recording of the new album, the Jimmy Cake are finally back, and with a Brand New Album Release later in the year.
