I know next to nothing about Sofa City Sweetheart, except that there is an incredibly strong John Lennon vibe parading around the tracks up at their website.  I also received a twitter message from Cleveland Rock Photographer extraordinaire, Mara Robinson, about their show tonight at Wilbert's.  This is one y'all should roll out to see if you've got nothing cooking after the maelstrom here in Cleveland last night.  Here is a tiny list of things I do know about this band:

1.  They are from Los Angeles.

2.  Sofa City Sweetheart is the project of J. Lopez, who also groups up several talented musicians to translate these tunes into a live performance.

3.  The descriptor, "If Elliot Smith and The Kinks had a baby" is lofty as all hell, but you'll absolutely hear it in the music.

4.  The show at Wilbert's tonight is 100 percent free of charge.

5. Nearly every track I've heard is pop / folk sweetness.  There's a late 60's vein with enough modern pop flare to make this infectious and well worth a few spins around the block.

6.  You should probably go and see these guys tonight.  They're in from the west coast for one night and, no doubt, Wilbert's will be booming.

While you're at it, check out Mara Robinson's website link above.  She's one hell of a photographer.  She's amassed national praise, and I've been enjoying her Pitchfork photography for I Rock Cleveland for quite some time.  See you out tonight?  Enjoy "Good News for Jackie (Dedicated to Jackie Johnson)" below.  For a dose of shredding, hit the halfway mark and soar away with the killer guitar solo.
