Page "Cake (band)" Paragraph 7

On the strength of " The Distance ", Fashion Nugget was certified gold on December 9, 1996 and platinum on April 10, 1997.

The second single from Fashion Nugget, a cover of the Freddie Perren and Dino Fekaris song " I Will Survive ", hit number 38 on the US Modern Rock Tracks chart.

Although the band described it as a serious take on the original, one they'd been playing live for years, original performer Gloria Gaynor considers it her least favorite version of the song due to its use of profanity.

Following Fashion Nuggets release, the band toured the United States, playing in cities including Tulsa, Chicago, Salt Lake City, Los Angeles, San Antonio, and Dallas.

They later toured overseas, visiting the United Kingdom as a support act for Counting Crows, playing their own shows alongside the tour at venues including Dingwalls in London.

The band also toured Japan ; a later tour of the US, starting in Minneapolis in June 1997, was cancelled due to illness when McCrea was diagnosed with " fatigue and extreme exhaustion ".

After McCrea recovered, the band continued touring, playing at the Big Stink festival in Vancouver, Washington, and the Jayhawk Music Festival in Lawrence, Kansas.
