Classic Album Bressa Creeting Cake

Joel Bressa, Geoff Creeting and Edmund Cake were Bressa Creeting Cake, they released one self titled album in 1996. Playful pop inventiveness are the descriptors for the album's major style. Since the album was released, the spawning of great musical careers for Edmund Cake and Geoff Maddock in Goldenhorse, has made this album a defining point in NZ music history.
