A special day indeed Rocksmith 2014 fans! The heavily requested, Sacramento-born alternative band Cake has made it’s music game debut on Rocksmith!
Surprisingly the insanely popular cover of Gloria Gaynor’s I Will Survive, has been included this song pack along with their more popular singles Never There, Short Skirt/Long Jacket, and of course The Distance. Rounding out the pack is a song that many casual listeners probably have never heard of, and will definitely surprise naysayers of Cake’s talent on their respective instruments. Did someone let Earl Scruggs in the studio? Nah, it’s Stickshifts and Safety Belts!
Alternate Tuning haters unite! It’s all E Standard this week!

Are you excited about Cake’s music game debut? Are you grabbing the whole pack? Let us know!
Thumbs down. Sorry. 🙄
I like the guitar and I like the bass… But can I stomach the vocals for long enough to play em… I’m thinking about it, don’t fucking pressure me
We can have our Cake and play it too?
An absolutely spot on 5 pack! So happy to see Stick Shifts and Safety Belts! Happy Day!!!
I’m in for three.
I will survive …. Cool
This a good sign for 90s indie music. Maybe we will see Soul Coughing, Pavement, Beck, Dinosaur Jr, Sebadoh etc down the road.
Cannot wait to play all of these. I think I need to take a vacation day tomorrow.
The bass lines are fun, but 4/5 songs are nothing hard. I Will Survive is pretty beastly but, manageable with some groove.
Cake Pack (Bass difficulty, easiest to hardest):
Never There
Stickshifts And Seatbelts
Short Skirt/Long Jacket
The Distance
I Will Survive
It blows my mind people have not heard if this band. Break out that fishing rod and get deep bass fishing with my mother f%#king son.
No “Guitar”? I am shocked! Happy as hell about the pack though, first thing I’ll have bought since Just like a woman!
This week the bass players will have fun. The guitar is a bit bland 🙁
I really haven’t bought much these last few weeks not because I don’t like the offerings rather they don’t seem terribly exciting to play. I love Mastadon, 311, and the others. CAKE is different and I they will be fun and maybe a little challenging. I am only slightly bummed there will be no Rock and Roll Lifestyle; I will survive. Pun intended.
Edit: my bass might have a busted nut. Horrible buzzing on the G string but not like I’ve picked it up much the last year.
Who?
never heard of these guys, but i like it… so im ‘avin some of that
edit: listening to the tracks on youtube it seemd i HAVE heard a few of the tracks before
edit edit: seems more for the bassists tho
yeah! i’m really excited for this pack, the song selection is very good, and i’m gonna buy it as soon as i see it in the EU PSN.. i can’t wait to try them..!
What a lovely pack 🙂 Can’t wait to get going with it. CAKE! 😀
Cake is pretty cool, bring it
Amen, except for “Stickshifts and Safetybelts” which I always thought was a joke song.
It’s no joke when you try to play it!
What a great day for David Lane.

This pack looks great! Can’t wait to download it!
Oh, this is a keeper for sure!! Can’t wait to play The Distance!
Reluctantly crouched at the starting line…
hows about some kings of leon? steve miller band, stuck in the middle with you? or even some metalica!
Why must you make requests and Metallica ain’t happening.
At the top of the page is a link to where you can request songs. No-one here has anything to do with choosing the DLC they release.
Oh yeah I will definitely be grabbing the pack.
WHAT A GREAT DAY FOR FANS OF GOOD MUSIC
THIS!

WHAT A GREAT DAY TO LEARN HOW TO TURN “CAPS LOCK” OFF AND STOP YELLING AND/OR LOOKING LIKE A TOOL.
