ICING (Cake tribute) / The Clacks

If you’ve ever blasted “The Distance” on repeat or tried to sing along to Cake’s deadpan vocals, this night is basically your dream in stereo. ICING, a full-on Cake tribute band, is rolling into Radio/East with a set stuffed full of the band’s greatest hits, deep cuts, and all the quirky, trumpet-laced, talk-sung goodness your alt-rock heart can handle.

Expect that unmistakable mix of dry wit, funky bass lines, and laid-back grooves that made Cake such a ’90s and 2000s staple. ICING leans into the vibe hard—tight rhythms, punchy horns, and that cool, slightly sarcastic storytelling delivery. You’ll be chanting along to the choruses before you even realize it.

Sharing the bill are The Clacks, bringing their own energy to the night and setting the tone perfectly before ICING hits the stage. Think of it as a double-feature for fans of clever lyrics, guitar-driven hooks, and a little bit of rock ‘n’ roll swagger.
