Formed in 2000 from the simmering
ashes of the recently defunct Das Madman, the Jimmy Cake were only initially to
play a one off show in Eamonn Dorans. But people kept coming, and the music kept
getting louder.
Following on from 2008s critically
acclaimed Spectre and Crown, The
Jimmy Cake have a new set and a new sound. Reduced from a cast of hundreds to a
slimmed down six piece, we find the Jimmy Cake’s music equally stripped back:
where once there were strings, accordion and tubas there is now the esoteric
appeal of the vintage synths and tightly coiled, pounding rhythms. Guitars are
back, and they mean to do some business. Headlifting, powerful, hypnotic, the
Jimmy Cake have embraced change once more, and, it’s with this feckless bravado
in mind that they embark on their latest adventure. In 2009 they have played to
a full Meeting House Sq at the DEAF fundraiser and on the Crosby Stage at
Electric Picnic. Expect a new album this summer.
The Jimmy Cake
are:
Lisa Carey, Dip, Parx, Vincent
Dermody, John Dermody, Patrick Kelleher and Paul G.
