Mother's Cake

Their music is influenced by different bands like The Mars Volta, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Led Zeppelin or Bootsy Collins.

[6] The director Henning Backhaus, a student of Michael Haneke, used a couple of their songs for the soundtrack of his film "Local Heroes" and even involved the band at the shooting.

[7] Their debut "Creation’s Finest" (release-date: October 26, 2012) was produced by Georg Gabler and got featured by Ikey Owens († 2014, member of The Mars Volta & Jack White).

Creation's Finest created a big stir in national and international music press and ensured Mother's Cake a firm stand in the business.

In 2013 they got awarded with the "Austrian Newcomer Award″ and played many sold-out shows including support gigs for Iggy and The Stooges, Living Colour,  Omar Rodriguez Lopez Group, Deftones and Tito & Tarantula.

In fall 2014, Mother's Cake supported Anathema on their Distant Satellites tour leading through 20 countries playing 42 shows in 56 days.

Their second studio album "Love The Filth" released on June 5, 2015, via the new founded label Panta R&E including the single "Gojira".

In 2016 Mother's Cake headlined again in Germany, recorded their 3rd studio album and went on tour with Bobby Liebling's Pentagram and Wolfmother.

In 2018 the heavy touring mode was kept up and the band played more than 100 shows in  UK, Romania, Hungary, Germany, Croatia, Bulgaria, Austria, and Switzerland.

Additionally, they performed two shows at the Great Escape in Brighton and one at Liverpool's Soundcity, which was followed by the nomination for the Austrian Amadeus Award in the category "Hard & Heavy".

That multi-instrumentalist Neikes – who plays both guitar and keys live – has become a permanent fourth member of the band, which operated as a trio until the 2021 release of Studio Live Sessions, is not the only personnel change: while bassist Benedikt Trenkwalder was unexpectedly prevented from participating in the recordings due to illness and was fortunately replaced by Arthur Darnhofer-Demar on the 4-string, founding drummer Jan Haußels amicably left the band after completing the album sessions and 14 years together.
