Bo & the Locomotive's Bo Bulawsky, who will be performing as Cake this year, is a huge fan of the band he's tackling, as are his bandmates. The group is looking forward to performing music that is often, as they say, underappreciated.
"They are true early-indie-rock-country pioneers, but they often aren't seen that way," Bulawsky says. "I think if people watch a band that isn't Cake playing all Cake songs, it will highlight the fact that they are an actual great band."
Tickets for An Under Cover Weekend are on sale for night one and night two.
The Orbz as The Pixies from An Under Cover Weekend 2009.
