The group is best known for being the first group to release material on record label Constellation Records; bandmember Ian Ilavsky (later a member of Re: and Thee Silver Mt.
Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band) was a co-founder of the label.
Most of Sofa's songs were written and played in a 10' x 10' room and were later presented in live shows, after which they were discarded.
They self-released two albums on cassette and with Constellation Records had two more releases (one 7" and one CD).
The full-length, Grey, received positive reviews from several Canadian press outlets.
