CAKE
THURSDAY 4/17. First Security Amphitheater. 8 p.m. $45-$69.50.
Bust out your “Short Skirt/Long Jacket” and travel “The Distance” to the First Security Amphitheater for Cake in concert. The genre-bending alt-rockers, known for their “staunchly trend-averse” (Billboard) attitude and whose heyday fell in the late ’90s/early 2000s, revealed last year that they’d be putting out their first new album in 14 years (no release date has been announced), so perhaps a comeback is in order. Bands rarely grace the stage of the criminally underused River Market amphitheater, especially those as cool as Cake, so this is worth making an evening of. It’ll be Cake’s first-ever Little Rock show and first Arkansas show in 13 years, having played at the Walmart Arkansas Music Pavilion in Rogers in 2009 and 2012. Expect lots of quirky audience interaction and slick, groovy tunes. Get tickets at ticketmaster.com.
