now this is exciting

The Cake Sale is a band featuring a loose and expansive collective of musicians and writers who have combined to create a 9-song CD of the same name on Oxfam Records. All profits will go to support Oxfams Make Trade Fair campaign and their overseas programme work.

Songs on the album have been written by Dave Geraghty, Emm Gryner, Paul Noonan, Glen Hansard (from The Frames), Ollie Cole, Damien Rice, The Thrills and Matt Lunson. Lead vocalists for the project include Lisa Hannigan (sings with Damien Rice), Nina Persson (from the Cardigans), Gary Lightbody (from Snow Patrol), Gemma Hayes, Glen Hansard, Josh Ritter, Conor Deasy and Neil Hannon. A host of other luminaries fill the roles of musicians.

Holy shit, look at that list of musicians. I cannot wait for this one. There are some clips up on the Cake Sale Myspace and they sound awesome.

Bring on the cake!
