Quick Hit Band Interview: Dirty Cakes

Dirty Cakes at Shaken Vanity Block Party


Interview with the band. Enjoy:

What's the story behind your band? Rock and Roll, Honest & Dangerous . . . Loud, Fuzzy and Fast. While Charley has been kicking around the LA music scene for 7 years now, Rick joined the band after playing with The English Beat and Becky was in The Lunachicks for their first 2 records.

Is there a specific decision the band has made (good or bad) that it feels other bands/artists can learn from? DIY first, we put the live show above all else. We leave it all on the stage, and expect nothing for it. Rock and Roll isn’t a choice or a decision . . . it’s who we are. We embrace that, there is no act or character being played. You can sniff bullshit a mile away . . . our enthusiasm, joy and honesty are a hallmark.

Own unique fact: We played our first show 5 days after the first time we all played together. It was 25 minutes long to a standing room only Maui Sugar Mill Saloon, and we crushed it!
