Cake

Extra Info

Paramount Theatre , Sun., May 11, 7:00pm

On a cold rainy day, nothing perks my mood like Cake. The Sacramento alt-rockers’ Motorcade of Generosity and Fashion Nugget played heavily during my angst-ridden high-school days, and they still show up with regularity in my normal iPod rotation. I also like their cover of “The Guitar Man” better than the original by Bread. Front man John McCrea’s affinity for wordplay and Knopfler-ish vocals gives the band a distinct, joyful sound that I for one draw on heavily when spring begins (if in name only). And whaddaya know, speaking of springtime, speaking of covers, speaking of terrible weather . . . Cake is touring behind B-Sides and Rarities, which includes songs made famous by Sinatra, Barry White, George Jones, and even Kenny Rogers. Because “Ruby, Don’t Take Your Love to Town” never gets old. Paramount Theatre, 911 Pine St., 467-5510, www.theparamount.com. $32. 7 p.m. JESSE FROEHLING

Mark Morris Dance Company

Last week, a group of scholars spent an enjoyable evening picking apart the different elements of Mark Morris’ L’Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato—the original poems by John Milton and the score that George Frederic Handel set to them; the evocative illustrations by William Blake and their analogue to the choreography; and the place that the work holds in Morris’ development. All fascinating topics, but in the end, all of them less satisfying than the dance itself. Using some of the simplest movements, Morris has his cast run and skip, slide, and sway through an ideal world. As critic and SW alum Roger Downey pointed out, Mark Morris uses steps that everyone in the audience would know, to create the sublime. Paramount Theatre, 911 Pine St., 467-5510, www.theparamount.com. $35–$75. 8 p.m. Fri., May 16-Sat., May 17, 2 p.m. Sun., May 18.
