CAKE
Earthfest 2008 Headliner: Cake
Best-known for their hit "The Distance," Cake epitomized the postmodern, irony-drenched aesthetic of ‘90s geek-rock. Their sound freely mixed and matched pastiches of widely varying genres -- white-boy funk, hip-hop, country, new wave pop, jazz, college rock, and guitar rock -- with a particular delight in the clashes that resulted. Their songs were filled with lyrical non sequiturs, pop-culture references, and smirky satire, all delivered with bone-dry detachment by speak-singing frontman John McCrea...

    BoDeans
    Earthfest 2008 band: BoDeans
    The best singing and songwriting partnerships involve a respectful give and take-whether it’s in the trading of lyrical or melodic ideas, an exchange of guitar riffs, or the blending of vocal harmonies. Kurt Neumann and Sammy Llanas initiated such a partnership more than 20 years ago. As frontmen for the BoDeans, one of the premier American roots-rock bands, they forged a signature sound based on heartfelt lyrics, passionate harmonies, and ringing guitars....
