This time, we lets the Sea and Cake describe its ethereal indie rock in their own words. Because we’d just say the band sounds like the soundtrack to a nap — which is by no means a bad thing. Band: The Sea and Cake Web: www.TheSeaandCake.com Hometown: Chicago, IL Sounds like: “Breezy pop, evidently. We punish in our own way, too.” Fun fact: “Eric Claridge who plays bass, made the artwork for the T- shirts. We’re working on a new record sooner than later.” Playing: Wednesday, October 3 at the Beachland Ballroom (15711 Waterloo Ave., 216-383-1121) http://www.beachlandballroom.com Why you need to see them: “Because we tend to rock more in a live setting.” — Archer Prewitt, guitar
