The Quiet Bits (Live Stuff and Other Sides)

by My Friend The Chocolate Cake

supported by

Dreamerdon An absolute delightful collection of Cake tunes. It includes the hidden Cake classic "Travel Shop". David's reflection of a night in Melbourne floats over a beautiful tune, somehow hits a nerve in these times. Worth it for this track alone. Take care folks. Favorite track: Travel Shop (Live at the Universal Theatre, 1994).
