MUSIC: Cake Shop turns 3
Tomorrow, LES record store/venue Cake Shop turns 3. I’m not the biggest fan of the venue—the sloped floor and spotty booking rings more annoying than endearing (spotty booking meaning the club gave a couple friend’s bands their first NYC dates, so, really, nothing but love for that).
But three years is a serious accomplishment in that hood, if any in NYC. Arguably better clubs like Sin-e, Rothko and Tonic couldn’t survive the rising rents and general economic crappyness the nabe is now famous for. But Cake Shop lives.
They are celebrating with a ton of bands, including Oakley Hall, New Bloods and our new favorite band, Virgin Forest. Full lineup. —Matt Rodbard
